Watan-As simultaneous stabbing attacks occurred in both Be’er Sheva and Ashdod, a video clip of the late martyr Saleh Al-Arouri, Deputy Head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, resurfaced, in which he discusses carrying out such operations.
In the circulated video clip, which dates back to a previous statement of his, Al-Arouri says, “Hit them everywhere… They must lose their security everywhere.”
Saleh Al-Arouri was martyred in an Israeli occupation forces airstrike on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, last January.

The circulation of Saleh Al-Arouri’s video coincided with a stabbing attack carried out in Gan Yavne near the settlement of Ashdod.
While the Israeli police stated that they killed the perpetrator of the stabbing attack, Israeli emergency services confirmed that three people were seriously injured in this incident.
Be’er Sheva Stabbing Attack
This attack occurred hours after a stabbing attack took place at the central bus station in the city of Be’er Sheva in the Negev, during which the assailant was martyred after being shot by Israeli police.
The Israeli police reported that two injured individuals were transported to Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva following the stabbing attack and added that the assailant died as a result of his serious injuries.
Israeli Soldier Killed
Two weeks ago, an Israeli soldier, a sergeant major in the Nahal Brigade, was killed and another Israeli was injured in a stabbing attack at a café at the entrance of Kibbutz Beit Kama, north of the city of Be’er Sheva.
