According to the Al-Mayadeen network, a Zionist regime drone targeted a Hamas office in south Beirut. The Al-Mayadeen network reported that a major explosion occurred in the Al-Mushrafiyah area in the southern suburbs of Beirut. The Islamic resistance movement Hamas also confirmed the news of al-Arouri's martyrdom in a statement. Hamas also announced the martyrdom of two battalion commanders of the movement's military branch, Martyr Ezzidin al-Qassam, as a result of the attack. The martyr Saleh al-Arouri was one of the first people on the Zionist regime's death list, and Israel had already failed many times in its attempts to kill him.

Saleh al-Arouri, vice-president of Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Hamas political bureau who was killed during the Zionist regime's attack on the outskirts of Beirut on Tuesday evening, was one of the founders of Ezzedine Kassam's first battalion.news sources reported on Tuesday evening a large explosion and an Israeli drone attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut, while the Lebanese news agency also reported that the attack killed four people, including Saleh al-Arouri, and several others were injured. Saleh al-Arouri, deputy political office of Hamas, was born in 1966 in the village of Arura, near Ramallah, on the West Bank. He received a bachelor's degree in Islamic studies from al-Khalil University in the West Bank. At a young age, he joined the Muslim Brotherhood and led Islamist student activities at al-Khalil University from 1985. After the creation of Hamas in late 1987, he joined the movement. Between 1990 and 1992, the Zionist regime's army arrested al-Arouri without charge due to his activities associated with the Hamas movement.

Al-Arouri is one of the founders of the Battalions of the Martyr Ezzeddine Al-Qassam, the military wing of Hamas, which in 1991-1992 created the nucleus of the movement's first military wing in the West Bank. In 1992, the Zionist army arrested al-Arouri again and sentenced him to 15 years in prison on charges of forming the core of the al-Qassam battalions in the West Bank. Al-Arouri was released from prison in 2007. But three months later the Zionist regime arrested him again. Al-Arouri remained in Occupied Quds regime prisons for another three years until the regime's Supreme Court ordered his release and expulsion from Palestine in 2010. At that time he was exiled to Syria and stayed there for three years. He was then transferred to Lebanon. In 2010, after being released from prison by the Israeli regime, he was elected a member of the Hamas Politburo. Al-Arouri was a member of the Hamas negotiating team for the 2011 Egyptian-brokered Palestinian prisoner exchange with the Israeli regime, which resulted in the release of Israeli prisoner of war Gilad Shalit for the release of 1,027 Palestinians imprisoned under the Zionist occupation. On October 9, 2017, Hamas announced that it had elected Saleh al-Arouri as deputy head of its political office.
