An explosion in a Beirut suburb killed Saleh Arouri, a senior Hamas official, the group said.
A U.S. defense official said the Israel Defense Forces was responsible for a strike targeting Arouri, and that an assessment of whether he had been killed was ongoing. Hamas said Israel had carried out “cowardly assassinations,” and that two leaders of Hamas’s elite Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades had also been killed. The IDF declined to comment on the blast.
