Likud MK Danny Danon tweets his praise to Israeli security forces for their killing of Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri outside of Beirut.

“So let all thine enemies perish,” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also tweets, quoting the Book of Judges.

Channel 12 reports that cabinet secretary Yossi Fuchs has sent a directive to ministers ordering them not to speak publicly about the alleged Israeli strike.
