Hamas’s deputy leader, Saleh al-Arouri, and six other senior figures were killed in a blast in Beirut. The strike, allegedly carried out by an Israeli drone according to Lebanese media and confirmed by US officials, occurred in the Dahiyeh neighborhood. Israel has not officially claimed responsibility for the incident. The attack has raised concerns about a potential escalation, with fears of a second front opening in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, extending into Lebanon and potentially involving Hezbollah, which has stronger military capabilities and ties to Iran.
