🚨🇱🇧🇵🇸🇮🇱 BREAKING: An explosion hit southern Beirut on Tuesday, destroying several cars and killing official Saleh al-Arouri, according to multiple reports in Lebanese and Israeli media.
This is a significant development. Israeli intelligence has been trying to kill al-Arouri for years and the United States has had a 5 million dollar bounty on him.
Hamas confirms was assassinated alongside 2 leaders in the Hamas military wing. Hezbollah’s leader had warned that any assassination of a senior figure (regardless nationality or affiliation) on Lebanese soil would have consequences.
This escalation is deliberate Al-Arouri is a deputy political leader for Hamas and one of the founders of al-Qassam Brigades, the so-called military wing of Hamas.
This is an extremely serious escalation. Bombing Beirut or its suburbs had long been declared a red line by Hezbollah that would necessitate significant retaliation.

“This is an extremely serious escalation. Bombing Beirut or its suburbs had long been declared a red line...”
Reminds me of the scene in Clint Eastwood’s movie “Unforgiven”:
“You just shot an unarmed man!”
“Well, he should have armed himself if he’s gonna decorate his saloon with my friend.”
