Protests erupted in the occupied West Bank after a senior Hamas leader, Saleh al-Arouri, was killed in an explosion in Beirut on Tuesday along with six other Hamas militants.

Al-Arouri was one of the founders of Hamas' military wing and was wanted by both the Israeli and American governments.

Israel offered no official comment on the attack, but Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has previously vowed retaliation for any Israeli attacks on Hamas officials in Lebanon, stoking fears of a possible widening of the conflict in Gaza.

"We affirm that this crime will never pass without response and punishment," Nasrallah said on Lebanese television.

A spokesperson for the Israel Defence Forces, Daniel Hagari, said Israel was in a "very high state of readiness in all arenas" and "highly prepared for any scenario."
