founders of hamas military wing. our correspondent, shaimaa khalil has this report from jerusalem. a hamas senior official killed in a hezbollah stronghold. this is the aftermath of the blast in the heart of the dahiyeh neighbourhood, beirut s southern suburb. hamas s deputy leader saleh al arouri and several others died in the explosion. local media has said this was an israeli drone strike, but the idf has told the bbc they will not comment on reports by foreign media. this blast comes at a very volatile moment in the region. it was condemned by the lebanese caretaker prime minister najib mikati, who said israel wanted to drag lebanon into a new phase of the conflict. israel has not said it was behind this attack, but government adviser mark regev made this point that whoever did it, this was not an attack on the lebanese state, but rather a surgical strike on hamas leadership. saleh al arouri was a senior hamas figure on both the political and the combat fronts. he help
