Six people were killed in an Israeli strike on Tuesday in Beirut that killed Saleh al-Arouri, a senior Hamas official, according to Lebanese media.
Arouri was deputy chairman of Hamas’s political bureau and commander of Hamas’s military wing in the West Bank. Two commanders from Hamas's military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, were also killed in the strike, the group said.
It's not immediately clear who the other dead are.
