Washington Post: Hezbollah leader vows ‘punishment’ after killing of Hamas official in Lebanon
BEIRUT — In an anxiously anticipated speech Wednesday, Hasan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group and political party, promised there would be a “response and punishment” to the assassination of a senior Hamas official in Beirut on Tuesday that was ascribed to Israel and raised fears of a wider regional war.
The official, Saleh Arouri, was the highest-ranking Hamas leader killed since the start of the conflict in October, when Hamas militants flooded into Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking some 240 hostages.
The location of the strike Tuesday — in Dahieh, a densely populated residential neighborhood on the edge of Beirut where Hezbollah holds sway — was seen as especially provocative.
It compounded concerns that the Lebanese militants, who have traded fire with Israel along their shared border but avoided all-out war, might feel compelled to ratchet up their response.
