Saleh al-Arouri, the deputy head of Hamas, has warned Israel against resuming targeted killings of terror leaders, stating that it could lead to a "regional war." This comes after the Israeli security cabinet discussed a series of decisions to target terrorists following recent deadly attacks in the West Bank. Al-Arouri claimed that Israel has decided to target several figures, including top Hamas military commander Muhammed Deif. He also accused far-right members of the Israeli government of seeking to expel Palestinians from the West Bank and take control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. In response, Netanyahu vowed that anyone who tries to harm Israelis "will pay the full price."
