(January 3, 2024 / JNS) Mossad director David Barnea threatened to hit any terrorists who participated in the Oct. 7 massacre, during a eulogy at the funeral for former Mossad chief Zvi Zamir on Wednesday.

“Let every Arab mother know that if her son took part in the [Oct. 7] massacre—he signed his own death warrant,” Barnea said, as quoted by the Times of Israel.

He spoke a day after the targeted killing of Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut on Tuesday night, whom the Gaza-based terror group described as the “architect” of the massacre in a statement cited by Saudi Arabia’s Al Arabiya channel earlier in the day.

Israel has not publicly taken responsibility for the assassination. However, al-Arouri was one of the top Hamas leaders on Israel’s target list following the terrorist group’s Oct. 7 massacre.

US NOT GIVEN ADVANCED NOTICE

Jerusalem did not give advanced notice to the United States before killing al-Arouri.

Six other operatives of the Gaza-based terror group, including two senior officials, were also killed in the precision drone strike, which hit al-Arouri as he was leaving the Hamas office. The explosions rocked the Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh, a Hezbollah stronghold.

The Walla news site quoted two unnamed American officials as saying that Washington was not warned of the attack. An Israeli official confirmed this to Walla, saying that the Biden administration was informed of the attack while it was underway.
