Saleh Al-Arouri, Pals Blown Apart In Beirut Drone Strike
Saleh al-Arouri is all over Beirut.
Literally. He was blown apart on Tuesday evening, likely by an Israeli drone.
Al-Arouri is (sorry, was) a somebody, to put it mildly. A Hamas member from the beginning, the late-fiftysomething headed the group's West Bank operations and was instrumental in the birth of the Al-Qassam Brigades, which carried out the October 7 attacks.
A regular in Israeli jails for long stretches spanning two decades, Al-Arouri eventually landed in Damascus, where he operated
Louis Prima’s Just A Gigolo/ I Ain’t Got Nobody comes to mind. Maybe they were listening to it just before the drone took them home.
I liked “blown apart”.
