Iran Press/ West Asia: Lebanon’s state news agency, NNA, said the blast on Tuesday evening in the Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh was an Israeli drone strike targeting a Hamas office in Lebanon, which killed four people, including Hamas’s deputy leader abroad Saleh al-Arouri.
Hamas media outlets have officially announced the death of the group’s deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri in an Israeli strike in Dahiyeh in Beirut.

Calling on Hamas to avenge his death and the killing of five other members of the Palestinian militant group on Tuesday, the mourners gathered at a mosque to recite the prayer of the dead before marching to Shatila refugee camp where three of them were to be buried.
