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.
