Hamas Leader Assassinated
LEBANON

The targeted killing of yet another senior Hamas leader, Selah Al Arouri - this time in Lebanon - follows a familiar pattern used by Israel over decades. Israel has attempted to kill senior Hamas figures when it could, while isolating the group inside the strip - along with the people of Gaza. Two Hamas commanders, Azzam al-Aqraa and Samir Fendi, were also killed in the targeted assassination in southern Beirut.

The development comes after US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin visited Al Udeid last month where he thanked Qatar for their increased spending on the base.
