Asif William Rahman was arrested by the FBI this week in Cambodia and was due to make a court appearance in Guam.
Senior Hamas official Izzat al-Rishiq said in a statement on Tuesday that the killing of Saleh al-Arouri showed once again that Zionist enemies have failed to achieve their goals in their merciless war on the Palestinian territories. "The cowardly killings of the leaders and symbols of the Palestinian people by the Zionist regime inside and outside Palestine will not result in breaking the will and resolve of our people and stopping their courageous resistance," al-Rishq said.
As previously reported, al-Arouri was killed in an explosion at a building in Beirut's al-Musharafi district in southern Lebanon. Hamas later confirmed that al-Arouri was killed in the Israeli terror attack along with several of his associates.
The opposition group said al-Arouri's killing was "an anticipated murder by Israel" that would not end the resistance. The Popular Resistance Committees, a coalition of Palestinian armed resistance groups, also issued a statement condemning Israel's killing of al-Arouri.
"The cowardly killing of Sheikh Saleh and the resistance leaders will not weaken the resistance, but will ignite it on all fronts of the conflict with the Palestinians and their Zionist enemies," the report said. He added: "The policy of killing the Zionist enemies against the resistance leaders proved that no matter how great the sacrifice, it cannot undermine the will of our people to free their country from the filth of the Zionist enemies." .
The committee also vowed to "avenge the blood" of senior Hamas officials. The occupied West Bank's al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade also issued a statement, vowing there would be no answers for the killings of al-Arouri and other resistance leaders.
He said the cowardly actions of the Israeli regime only strengthened "our resolve to resist and liberate the Palestinian territories." In addition, Lebanon's interim prime minister, Najib Mikati, condemned "Israel's new crime" and stressed that it was aimed at pushing Beirut into a new phase of resistance.
He added in a statement to The Israeli regime began its war in Gaza on October 7 after Hamas launched Operation Al Aqsa Storm, a surprise attack against the occupying organization in response to the Israeli regime's abuses of Palestinians.
Since the start of the US-backed offensive, the Israeli regime has killed at least 22,200 Palestinians, many of them women and children, and injured more than 57,000. Thousands of people are missing and presumed dead in the rubble.
Since the beginning of the war, the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has attacked Israeli targets in solidarity with the resistant Palestinian population in Gaza. The Israeli regime has been carrying out sporadic attacks in southern Lebanon since October 7, but this drone strike is the first since the 2006 war in which the regime in Tel Aviv has targeted the Lebanese capital.
