Israel, according to foreign reports, has proven that it is still capable. On the one hand, it's gratifying – the operational and intelligence capability demonstrated in Arouri's assassination is phenomenal. On the other hand, the elimination increases frustration over the huge gap between this capability, which according to foreign reports was activated yesterday, and the poor performance of the same system on October 7.
Israel made a serious mistake when it released Arouri from prison in 2010 in exchange for him going abroad. Once, when he was still being interviewed by Israeli journalists, Arouri told Gal Berger that "Israel is wrong when it deports security prisoners, because if they returned to Judea and Samaria, it would have a greater possibility of controlling them." How right he was, and even proved it to Israel, personally and painfully.
Now we must pay attention not only to the north, but also to the Judea and Samaria and East Jerusalem sectors. Arouri was a household name. The IDF and security services must prepare for the possibility of attempted attacks, both by individuals and by sleeper cells, which Arouri has dispersed in Judea and Samaria over the years, and which may not yet have been exposed.
The possibility of a partial or complete reversal by the PA must now also be taken into account, because Arouri was a Palestinian consensus and symbolized the unification of the fronts within the West Bank, between Fatah, Hamas and other terrorist organizations.
