Hamas Deputy Head Assassinated in Beirut Airstrike

By -

Hamas announced on Tuesday that Saleh Al Arouri, one of its senior officials, fell victim to a lethal attack in southern Beirut, Lebanon. Al Aqsa TV, a Hamas media outlet, reported that Al Arouri was "martyred in a treacherous Zionist airstrike in Beirut."

As the deputy head of Hamas' political bureau, Al Arouri held a significant position within the organization and was recognized as one of the founding members of its military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. He was based in Beirut at the time of the attack.

The strike, aimed at a Hamas office in the Beirut suburb of al-Mushrifiyyeh, resulted in the death of at least four individuals, according to the Lebanese news agency NNA.

Former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, expressed praise for the Israeli security and intelligence agencies regarding the assassination of Al Arouri. Danon congratulated the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the Shin Bet, the Mossad, and the security forces for their role in eliminating the senior Hamas official. In a statement, he said, "I congratulate the IDF, the Shin Bet, the Mossad and the security forces for killing senior Hamas official (Saleh Al Arouri) in Beirut. Anyone who was involved in the 7/10 massacre should know that we will reach out to them and close an account with them."

CNN has sought further comments from the IDF, but no response has been received at the time of reporting.

It's worth noting that the Israeli army had previously demolished Al Arouri's residence in the occupied West Bank town of Aroura in October. The IDF justified the action by stating that forces had "operated in the town" to "demolish the residence of Saleh Al Arouri, deputy head of the Hamas terrorist organization’s political bureau and in charge of the Hamas’ activities in Judea and Samaria."

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles
