Hamas’ No. 2 leader and a key “architect” of the deadly Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel was killed in an airstrike in the Lebanese capital of Beirut late Tuesday.
Saleh al-Arouri, the Palestinian terror group’s deputy chief, was taken out when the drone struck a Hamas office in Beirut’s southern suburbs of Dahiyeh — a stronghold of the allied Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, Hamas said on its official Telegram channel...
Five other people, including another Palestinian militant commander, were also killed in the Tuesday night strike, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported, though details on their identities weren’t immediately available.
The strike targeted a Hamas meeting, multiple security sources told Reuters...
The dead Hamas higher-up had been described as an “architect” of the Oct. 7 massacre — and was given a 30-minute heads-up before his group’s terrorists stormed into southern Israel, so he could inform Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, according to reports.
Al-Arouri was a key link to Iran, too, and was pictured meeting with Iran’s Supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in Tehran in June last year.
While Netanyahu has repeatedly threatened to kill Hamas leaders wherever they are in retaliation for the Oct. 7 assault, the latest drone attack would mark the first time Israel has targeted another country to reach the terror group’s upper leaders...
Hezbollah has already been exchanging near-daily fire with Israel across Lebanon’s southern border ever since Hamas carried out the Oct. 7 attack but has so far appeared reluctant to dramatically escalate the fighting...

If I were plotting to destroy The Jew, the LAST THING that I would want would be an office with a view.
Good rhyme but the meter is a little off. How about:
If I were plotting to kill The Jew, I would never sit in a room with a view.
Good advice.
Baron Jean de Selys Longchamps, DFC was born into Belgian nobility, historically residing in Longchamps Castle< snip>
Immediately upon the fall of Belgium on May 10, 1940, the Gestapo commandeered Résidence Belvédère, a luxurious Art Deco apartment building located at 453 Avenue Louise[a] in Brussels as its headquarters, and tortured prisoners in its cellars.[3]
Longchamps' father had died under torture at the hands of the Sicherheitspolizei (SiPo).[4]
On January 20, 1943, Longchamps [flying for the RAF] completed an approved railway strafing mission over Ghent
< snip>
Longchamps first flew his Typhoon down the Avenue Louise to make a high-speed pass of the target building, reportedly to have the roar of the Napier Sabre engine draw Gestapo personnel to the unprotected windows. Using the ample manoeuvering space above the Bois de la Cambre parc, he then turned to the Avenue de la Nation[b], using it as a low-level attack path. He continued through the left turn of the connecting Avenue Emile De Mot to an unobstructed and fairly frontal firing position with little risk of collateral damage and raked the target with his four 20 mm Hispano autocannons, resulting in the death of SS-Obersturmführer Werner Vogt of the SiPo, SS-Sturmbannführer Alfred Thomas, head of Abteiling III of the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) in Belgium, a high-ranking Gestapo officer named Müller, and others.
“Good rhyme but the meter is a little off.”
Thanks, I was using Ionic Pentameter, but your Falsetto does flow better.
Accuracy.
