Suspected Israeli attack kills senior Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut
이스라엘, 베이루트의 하마스 시설 공격 정치국 2인자 사망
A suspected Israeli drone attack killed a Hamas deputy leader on Tuesday in Lebanon’s capital Beirut.
This adds to worries that the war could expand beyond the Gaza enclave.
Our Lee Shi-hoo reports.
A suspected Israeli attack in Beirut’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh on Tuesday night has killed senior Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri known to be “second-in-command“ in Hamas’s politburo.
The drone attack killed a total of six and injured many more, Lebanese and Palestinian security sources said.
Video from the scene, in a stronghold of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, showed smoke fuming out of a heavily damaged building.
Mark Regev, an adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told MSNBC that Israel had not taken responsibility for this attack, but that “whoever did it, it must be clear that this was not an attack on the Lebanese state.“
Hamas condemned the killing, calling it a “cowardly assassination.“
In the West Bank city of Ramallah, hundreds of Palestinians took to the streets and marched in protest.
The attack is also raising the potential risk of the conflict spreading beyond the Gaza enclave.
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati issued a statement late Tuesday condemning the attack, calling it a “new Israeli crime.”
He said the explosion “aims to usher Lebanon into a new phase of confrontations following the daily ongoing attacks.“
An expert in the Middle East says the conflict could extend over a longer period.
“The war has come to expand as Israel decides to get a firm grip on Hamas and Hezbollah. As for how long this conflict will continue, it worries me that it’s more likely to continue mid to long-term, rather than end shortly.“
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the United Nations secretary general called Tuesday’s strike “extremely worrying.“
