HUGE WIN: Israeli Drone Strike Takes Out Multiple Hamas Leaders Who Were Meeting in Lebanon


 RedState   "A joint Mossad/IDF military intelligence operation in Lebanon has led to the death of numerous top Hamas leaders.

"Saleh al-Arouri, the leader of Hamas' military operations in the West Bank and the man responsible for facilitating money and weapons transfers for the group since the 1980s, and others were killed when the building in which they were meeting with other "resistance factions" in Beirut was bombed." . . .

"According to journalist Yossi Melman, the targeted strike was part of a Mossad/IDF military intelligence joint operation.

"About six weeks before the October 7 surprise attacks, al-Arouri gave an exclusive interview to Lebanese news outlet   Al Mayadeen in which he said the group was coordinating with "all relevant parties" in preparation for an "all-out war." He alleged that some in Netanyahu's government wanted "a major conflict" and would conduct assassinations and "tak[e] control of the Al-Aqsa Mosque" to start it."

. . ."They’re pursuing him not just for his insider knowledge of the attack but for his ties to others – possibly those “relevant parties” he cited in August.

"The attack went far beyond what was expected from Hamas alone. A mass border invasion. Drones and paragliders. Withering rocket fire. Precise raids on military surveillance, communications and intelligence hubs. Those plans bear the hallmarks of sophisticated backers from the outside.

"Current and former intelligence officials say Arouri sits at a strategic intersection of three entities: Hamas; Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based terrorist group that is considered the world’s most formidable; and Iran, the world’s deadliest state sponsor of terrorism.
