Israel hasn’t confirmed it’s responsible for a Tuesday drone strike in Lebanon that took out Saleh al-Arouri, the highest-ranking Hamas figure killed since war erupted in October. But Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati has condemned the killing of the 57-year-old founding member of Hamas’ military wing and six other alleged Hamas members in the Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh as a “new Israeli crime” and violation of Lebanese sovereignty, per CNN and EFE. According to a statement from the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, Mikati also ordered his government to file an “urgent” complaint with the United Nations Security Council, accusing Israel of trying to drag Lebanon into a regional war.
