Israel killed Aruri in Beirut with guided missiles: Lebanese official
BEIRUT: A high-level Lebanese security official told AFP on Wednesday that Israel fired guided missiles from a warplane to kill Hamas number two Saleh al-Aruri in a Beirut suburb.
Lebanese authorities and Hamas accused Israel of killing Aruri in Beirut southern suburbs on Tuesday, with Lebanese state media saying he died with six others in a drone strike.
"Aruri was killed in strikes using guided missiles which were launched by an Israeli warplane," the official said, requesting anonymity because of security concerns.
