He was finally released from Israeli prisons during the exchange operation of Giliad Shalit, an Israeli soldier held by Hamas, and after a while he was exiled from Palestine. He was responsible for the Hamas office in Syria, Turkey, Qatar and Lebanon for consecutive years.

He also played the role of liaison between Hamas and Hezbollah due to his proximity to Iran and his location in Beirut. was doing Although he was mentioned in the radio and television media as the engineer of the attack on October 7 (Al-Aqsa storm), according to the French newspaper Figaro, citing sources close to the Hamas group, he did not know about the attack until half an hour before the attack on the occupied territories. .

Israel may try through some of its media, such as Yediot Aharonot newspaper, Haaretz newspaper and Israel TV channel 2, by addressing the issue that al-Arouri was the elite and the creator of the October 7 offensive war. to have a greater achievement than reality for himself, because he has not yet reached any of his stated goals, including the destruction of Yahya al-Sanwar, the leader of Hamas, Muhammad al-Sanwar and Muhammad Al-Dzaif, the 3 main commanders of the October 7th war (the Al-Aqsa storm) and also destroying the entirety of Hamas in Gaza has not worked. Therefore, by hitting one of the Hamas officials outside of Palestine, who basically had no role in the October 7 attack and was out of the calculation of the aforementioned war, it is trying to The domestic and international arena should make achievements for themselves, and in the meantime, some of our media, unaware of the purpose of this news, are taking steps to strengthen this issue. .

Experts believe that the response of the resistance to this terror is certain, but the time and intensity of it are important. Because if he postpones the answer to another time, this issue will have a direct impact on the future decisions of the Israeli cabinet. Meanwhile, some observers believe that even if Hezbollah answers, the American government will also be responsible. Despite the publicity and media controversies, he does not have much desire to enter into this controversy. According to this group, due to the upcoming US presidential elections and the possibility of expanding the scope of the war in the region and jeopardizing the economic interests of the US in the Southwest Asia region, the possibility of the US entering the battle arena with Hezbollah is very small.
