"Senior Hamas Leader Assassinated in Beirut Amidst Israeli Military Escalation"

A senior Hamas official, Saleh al-Arouri, was killed in a drone strike in Beirut's Dahiyeh suburb, which is considered a Hezbollah stronghold. Although Israel has not officially taken responsibility, the strike targeted a Hamas office and resulted in six deaths. The attack has been condemned by Lebanon's caretaker prime minister as an attempt to drag Lebanon into war. Hostilities between Hamas and Israel have been ongoing since October, with numerous casualties reported on both sides.
