Mossad promises "reckoning" with the masterminds of October 7
After the Hamas massacre on October 7, the Israeli secret service is seeking revenge. According to Mossad chief David Barnea, they will settle accounts with those responsible for the terrorist attack. The intelligence officer said this just one day after the killing of Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Aruri in Lebanon.
The head of the Israeli secret service Mossad has threatened all planners and masterminds involved in the Hamas attack on October 7 with retribution. Israel is "in the middle of a war", said David Barnea in Jerusalem. The Mossad is committed to "settling accounts with the murderers who came from the Gaza Strip border on October 7, with the planners and their clients".
This reckoning will "take time, just like after the massacre in Munich, but we will take them wherever they are," Barnea said. "Every Arab mother should know that if her son participated directly or indirectly in the slaughter of October 7, blood will come over his head," the intelligence chief threatened, quoting a verse from the Book of Joshua.
Barnea made his remarks at the funeral of former Mossad chief Zvi Zamir. He had led the "Wrath of God" operation. The aim was to track down and kill those responsible for the Munich Olympic bombing in 1972. A Palestinian commando had killed eleven Israeli athletes at the sporting event.
Barnea issued his threat of retaliation just one day after the killing of Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Aruri in Lebanon. The drone attack in a southern suburb of Beirut, in which al-Aruri died on Tuesday along with his bodyguards, is attributed to Israel. However, the Israeli authorities have not commented on this.
Israel and the radical Islamic Palestinian organization Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, have been at war for almost three months. Following the Hamas attack on October 7, in which, according to Israeli figures, around 1,140 people were killed and around 250 others were taken hostage in the Gaza Strip, Israel announced the destruction of Hamas and the killing of its leaders.
Al-Aruri, whom Israel holds responsible for planning numerous attacks, was elected deputy to Hamas politburo leader Ismail Haniya in 2017. This officially made him the number two of the Islamist terrorist organization.
