[GEO.TV] The slain deputy chief of Hamas, Saleh al-Arouri, was buried in the Palestinian camp of Shatila in Beirut on Thursday, amid throngs of mourners launching volleys of gunfire.
Arouri was martyred in a drone strike on Tuesday on the southern suburb of Beirut, a stronghold of allied Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, as he was meeting with a group of Palestinian and Lebanese men from factions allied to Hamas.
The attack was widely attributed to Hamas' sworn foe Israel. Israel, which has laid waste to the Gaza Strip in a war aimed at wiping out Hamas, has neither confirmed nor denied that it assassinated Arouri.
All seven people attending the meeting in Beirut were killed. The bodies of several, including Arouri, were blown into several parts by the strike, complicating preparations for the burial.
Two of the Palestinians — a member of Hamas's armed wing the Qassam Brigades and another Palestinian — who were martyred alongside Arouri were also buried in Shatila Martyrs Cemetery that is the graveyard for Palestinians, including civilians, political officials and combatants.
"Palestine and Lebanon bid farewell today, along with the people of the nation, to strong men who fought battles in all fields and directions," said Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in a statement from outside Lebanon.
Their coffins were draped in Palestinian flags and carried by men wearing green caps with "Hamas" written on the front. Heavy bursts of gunfire rang out for hours.
