The Lebanese prime minister, Najib Mikati, echoing fears of further regional violence, described the assassination as a 'new Israeli crime intended to spur a new phase of conflict, following daily attacks in the south [of Lebanon]'. An Israeli military spokesperson said Israeli forces were in a state of 'high readiness' and prepared for any scenario after the killing of Arouri, but did not confirm it was behind the attack. Arouri is the most senior Hamas official to have been killed since the 7 October attacks.
