Saleh al-Arouri is the most senior Hamas figure killed since the Israel-Hamas war began in October.

The deputy head of Hamas, the Palestinian group which rules Gaza, has been killed in a blast in Lebanon, a senior Hamas official has told the BBC.

Local media said Saleh al-Arouri was killed in an Israeli drone attack in the south of the capital, Beirut.

At least three other people were reportedly also killed in the incident. Israel has not commented.

    I am talking about the poisoning of Scripal for example, but there were also other notable killings. And the international outcry after that was enormous and now is more like shrugging off shoulders, I don’t see anyone really objecting to the impunity Israel is having in those cases. And that’s what I call double standards.

      The way they tried to assassinate Skripal put the general public into a panic over radioactivity poisoning, and people are fucking outraged over Israeli terrorism. Maybe it’s time to find some new circles.
