Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri killed in alleged Israeli strike in Beirut suburb

[Times Of Israel Liveblog]
*The Ramallah branch of PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party announces a general strike for tomorrow in response to the alleged Israeli strike that killed Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri in Lebanon earlier this evening.

The announcement further demonstrates Hamas’s popularity in the West Bank.

Notably, though, Hamas’s support in Gaza — which has faced the brunt of the terror group’s decisions — is not as high, according to recent polls.

*The Hezbollah-linked al-Mayadeen news site reports that the death count from tonight’s alleged Israeli airstrike on a Hamas office near Beirut has climbed from four to six.

#1 NYP: The TV station of Lebanon’s Hezbollah group says top Hamas official Saleh Arouri was killed Tuesday in an explosion in a southern Beirut suburb.

Arouri, one of the founders of Hamas’ military wing, had headed the group’s presence in the West Bank. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had threatened to kill him even before the Hamas-Israel war began on Oct. 7.

Israeli officials declined to comment.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said the blast killed four people and was carried out by an Israeli drone.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE
