Saleh al-Arouri
On Jan. 2, an Israeli drone strike on a Hamas office in Beirut killed terror chief Saleh al-Arouri.
IDF strikes more than 100 terror targets in Gaza, and Hamas targets in high-rise quarter of central Gaza used to fire anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles.
“I am among the believers in his ideology, his way, and his activity,” Jibril Rajoub said of Saleh al-Arouri.
Jerusalem did not inform Washington before killing Hamas No. 2 Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut.
Despite the elimination of a top Hamas leader in Beirut and thousands of terrorists in Gaza, “we have not forgotten for a moment that one of the top national goals is the return of the hostages,” said IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari.
The explosion rocked the Dahiyeh suburb, a Hezbollah stronghold.
After security forces destroyed al-Arouri’s home in the village of Arura north of Ramallah, they hung a combined Hamas and ISIS flag on its ruins with the inscription “Hamas=ISIS.”
Israeli forces reportedly arrested more than 20 people in the raid on Saleh al-Arouri’s home in Arura, including one of his brothers and several of his nephews.
The PM called on Israelis to unite against terrorism.
The movement’s commander in Judea and Samaria wants to bring the organization into Iran’s orbit.
Hamas and Iran share the goal of surrounding Israel with a ring of fire—and that’s where Hamas deputy politburo chief Saleh al-Arouri comes in.
