"Israel's Beirut Drone Strike Eliminates Senior Hamas Leader Arouri"

Saleh al-Arouri, the deputy leader of Hamas, was killed in a targeted drone strike in Beirut, which is believed to have been carried out by Israel. Arouri was a significant figure in Hamas, known for his role in orchestrating attacks against Israel, including the kidnapping and killing of three Israeli teenagers in 2014. His death marks a critical moment for Hamas amid ongoing tensions and conflicts with Israel, especially after the recent cross-border assault by Hamas that led to a war in Gaza. Arouri was also involved in negotiations for the release of hostages and had a history of advocating for reconciliation between Palestinian factions.
