Beirut explosion leaves top Hamas official dead, Hezbollah media says

Video released by Reuters showed the aftermath of a Tuesday explosion in Beirut, Lebanon. Hezbollah media is claiming that a top Hamas official was killed.

Hezbollah-linked news outlets are reporting that deputy Hamas leader Saleh Arouri was killed by an Israeli air strike. 

Al-Mayadeen, a publication linked to Hezbollah, reported that the high-ranking Hamas official was killed in the Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh. 

Arouri is among the founders of Hamas’ military wing and has overseen the terrorist group’s operations in the West Bank.

The strike reportedly killed four people. Israeli officials have yet to comment on the explosion.
