After Dahieh strike, Israeli army says focused on Hamas but ready 'for any scenario'
Israel’s military spokesman on Tuesday said the army remains focused on fighting Hamas after an explosion in Beirut's southern suburbs that killed Saleh al-Arouri, a senior leader of the Islamic militant group.
The attack, blamed on Israel, has raised concerns that Lebanon’s Hezbollah could strike back in revenge.
Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, speaking to media Tuesday, made no direct mention of the death of Arouri.
“We are focused and remain focused on fighting against Hamas,” he said. But he added, “We are on high readiness for any scenario.”
