Palestinian Authority premier condemns killing of Hamas deputy leader
Palestinian prime minister Mohammad Shtayyeh on Tuesday condemned the assassination of Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri in a Beirut suburb, in a strike attributed to Israel.
Shtayyeh called the killing a "crime perpetrated by known criminals" and warned about the "risks and consequences that could follow," according to a statement issued by his office.
Two security officials in Lebanon said Arouri was killed in an Israeli drone strike that killed a total of six people in a southern Beirut stronghold of Hamas ally Hezbollah.
