"Also today, we are in the heat of a war, the Mossad, like 50 years ago, is obligated to settle the score with murderers who invaded the Gaza corridor on October 7."

"Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar recently spoke on the issue of expanding the responsibilities of the security agency" and its "intent to reach all Hamas leaders anywhere in the world."

Hamas chief said the assassination was a “terrorist act,” a violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty, and an expansion of Israel’s hostility against Palestinians.
