Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said Wednesday that the assassination of Hezbollah deputy chief Saleh al-Arouri "will not go unpunished."
Arouri was killed in an Israeli drone strike on a Hamas office in Beirut's southern neighborhood Tuesday evening, according to Lebanese media.
"What happened yesterday and Arouri's assassination was very dangerous," Nasrallah said in a speech Wednesday evening.
"This attack (in Beirut's southern neighborhood) was the first since 2006," he added.
Nasrallah said Arouri's assassination "was an Israeli attempt to create an image of a victory after it failed to achieve its goals in Gaza."
