The spokesperson stated that the assassination came after the occupation entity's failure and its irreparable defeat in the face of Palestinian Resistance factions during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
Kanaani denounced the violation of Lebanon's sovereignty by the Israeli occupation and called on the United Nations for an urgent and impactful response to this crime. He emphasized that the occupation and its backers would bear the consequences of this adventure.
Furthermore, the advisor to the leader of the Islamic Revolution and the President of Iran, Ali Akbar Velayati, affirmed that "these crimes reveal the failure of the Zionists on all fronts and battlefields, especially since Operation Al-Quds Flood."
He added, "Let the Zionists know that the Palestinian Resistance will not be deterred by such actions; instead, it will grow stronger."

Nothing to deter the Palestinian people: Yemen
The political bureau of Yemen's Ansar Allah also condemned "the heinous assassination" committed by the Israeli occupation, which the entity would not have dared to carry out without the US' support and approval.
Ansar Allah stressed that this brutal crime "reflects the level of bankruptcy, degradation, and criminality" that the Israeli occupation has reached.
Describing the martyr as one of the Resistance's leaders who played a prominent role in the heroic Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the bureau expressed full solidarity with the Palestinian Resistance movements in the occupied Palestinian territories and Lebanon.
Moreover, Abdulaziz Bin Habtoor, the Prime Minister of the Yemeni Government in Sanaa, condemned the Israeli crime and conveyed a message of condolences to the leadership of Hamas on the martyrdom of al-Arouri.
Bin Habtour affirmed Yemen's full solidarity, both the people and the government, with the people of Palestine.
The Prime Minister stated that this heinous crime "reflects the terrorist behavior of the Zionist entity, its current state of defeat, and its attempt to cover up its significant losses incurred by its forces in the Gaza Strip at the hands of Palestinian Resistance fighters."
Furthermore, he called upon human rights organizations to condemn the criminal Israeli act and to take all measures necessary to prosecute and hold the occupation entity accountable for this crime and other war crimes committed against the people of Gaza.
Additionally, the Yemeni Foreign Ministry described the assassination of the senior Hamas official as a dangerous Zionist escalation and a blatant violation of international law and Lebanon's sovereignty.
The Ministry also called on the international community to put an end to the Zionist arrogance that has disregarded all international laws.
"Such crimes come in the context of the Zionist entity's attempt to seek victory after its disgraceful defeat," the Ministry said, adding, however, that these aggressions will only make the Resistance stronger and more steadfast.
Ignite the Resistance's determination
Furthermore, the Iraqi Kataib Hezbollah stated that the US-backed Israeli occupation committed this crime after its military failure in confronting Gaza's Resistance.
In Jordan, the Secretary-General of the Islamic Action Front Party, Murad al-Adailah, affirmed to Al Mayadeen that "this cowardly assassination will not deter the Palestinian people."
Meanwhile, the Moroccan Observatory against Normalization stressed that the martyrdom of Resistance leaders will be nothing but "fuel that will ignite and renew the determination on the path of Resistance."
In Algeria, the Movement for the Society of Peace mourned martyr al-Arouri, stating that the assassination of Resistance leaders will not affect the path it vowed to undertake and will only strengthen its determination and belief in its right to continue the struggle against the occupation, its allies, and supporters.
The movement also viewed this operation as a "flagrant attack on the sovereignty of the Lebanese state, which might expand the scope of the war beyond the borders of the Gaza Strip."
Communist Parties in Lebanon stand in Solidarity
The Lebanese Communist Party condemned the drone attack against the southern suburb of Beirut targeting Saleh Al-Arouri describing it as a "flagrant violation of Lebanese sovereignty: standing as an extension of Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people". The party also offered its condolences to Hamas and resistance factions in general.
Similarly, the joint command of the People's Democratic Party and the Arab Socialist Action Party condemned the aggression against Lebanon and the assassination of Saleh al-Arouri.
In their statement, they described the aggression as being a cowardly terrorist act, adding that this crime is indicative of the occupation's dilemma. "Israel" has exhausted all its options in confronting the resistance in Gaza and the West Bank reaching a dead end and now it seeks to expand the war to draw in direct US intervention, the statement adds.
