Beirut is home to many senior Hamas leaders
Assassination of Saleh al-Arouri, Hamas’s number two, reveals the location of Hamas leaders in Lebanon, nestled in the heart of the Dahiyeh quarter, Hezbollah’s stronghold aiming to align Gaza with Lebanon, against Israel.
Israel used fighter jets when attacking Hamas headquarters in Beirut, a source in the Lebanon’s security service reported in conclusion of the preliminary investigation of authorities.
“Six missiles were fired against the building in the Al-Musharrafiya quarters at the southern outskirts of the capital, where the meeting of Palestinian leaders was held; two of them did not explode,” the source noted. “The weight of each missile was about 100 kg,” he said. Experts arrived at a conclusion after analyzing the hit accuracy and the weight of missiles that strikes were made by military aircraft and not by drones, the source added.
“Missiles fired by a fighter jet penetrated the building roof at the time when deputy head of the Politburo of the Hamas Palestinian movement Saleh al-Arouri arrived at the headquarters,” the source said. “Six people were killed and eleven were wounded together with al-Arouri,” he added.
