Here are the reports from the last hour, and a recap of today's major events.

It is 12am in Ireland now so I have to go to bed.

I'll be back Saturday as I'm working tomorrow, unless I'm in bad shape as I explained yesterday. Otherwise, Sunday.

While some military figures killed in duty are posthumously promoted in rank, Agence France Presse slapped terror commanders killed last night alongside Hamas deputy chief Salah Al-Arouri (also spelled Al-Aruri) with a demotion.

Thus, this morning’s article, “Israel ready ‘for any scenario’ after strike kills Hamas deputy in Lebanon,” had originally reported (6:38 AM GMT):

A high-level security official in Lebanon told AFP that Saleh al-Aruri was killed along with his bodyguards in a strike by Israel, which has vowed to destroy Hamas after the movement’s shock October 7 attacks. [Emphasis added.]

Similarly, a separate story this morning, “Hamas says Israel strike in Lebanon kills its deputy chief,” likewise cited the death of Al-Arouri’s “bodyguards”:

A high-level security official told AFP that Saleh al-Aruri was killed along with his bodyguards in the strike by Israel, which vowed to destroy Hamas after the movement’s unprecedented October 7 attacks on Israel. [Emphasis added.]

In fact, those killed alongside Al-Aruri included two top military commanders, and were not merely “bodyguards.” As Times of Israel reported:

Hamas confirmed that seven people in total were killed in the explosion, a precision strike on a third-floor apartment said to serve as an office for the terror group. The others besides Arouri were identified as military commanders Samir Findi and Azzam Al-Aqraa, along with Hamas figures Mahmoud Shaheen, Muhammad Bashasha, Muhammad al-Rayes and Ahmed Hammoud. According to reports, Findi oversaw Hamas military activities in Lebanon — including the firing of rockets at Israel — and was considered the terror group’s point man with the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. Al-Aqraa reportedly orchestrated terror activities in the West Bank from overseas.

Similarly, The New York Times reported:

Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’s top political leader, said the strike had killed Mr. al-Arouri, two Hamas military commanders and four other members. [Emphasis added.]

The Associated Press likewise reported today:

Hamas confirmed that Arouri was killed along with six other members of the group, including two military commanders. [Emphasis added.]

AFP also failed to accurately report the full “credentials” of al-Arouri himself, identifying him only as Hamas’ deputy leader. But the terror leader’s robust Curriculum Vitae also includes founding Hamas’ military wing, a fact reported elsewhere including AP, Reuters, the New York Times. The Gray Lady detailed:

Mr. al-Arouri played a key role in Hamas’s relationships with its regional allies and in increasing Hamas’s military capabilities, according to regional and Western officials. A longtime Hamas operative, he was one of the founders of the group’s armed wing and was linked to a number of attacks on Israeli civilians, including the kidnapping and killing of three teenagers in the West Bank in 2014, which he called a “heroic operation.”

AFP’s abridged resume said only: “Aruri, who lived in exile, is accused by Israel of masterminding numerous attacks.”

Following communication with CAMERA’s Israel’s office, AFP’s updated article later this morning (“Israel ready ‘for any scenario’ after strike kills Hamas deputy in Lebanon,” 11:22 am GMT), more fully described Al-Arouri as “the political number two of its enemy Hamas and one of the founders of the Islamist group’s military wing.”

In addition, the erroneous reference to slain “bodyguards” no longer appears, with the updated language more accurately stating, “Aruri and six other militants were killed in the attack.” The later version, however, still does not note the two commanders’ high-level positions.

You love Abu Ubaidah?

Well I want you to know that the Martyr Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri was of greater significance to Hamas.

Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri was one of the distinguished and devoted leaders of the Palestinian people. We have lost him when we needed his presence the most. He was a leader who instilled confidence and tranquility in those around him and those he dealt with.

We have lost him as a leader and a person who believed in the justice of the Palestinian people's fight until martyrdom, and he achieved it in the great glory of Palestine and the resistance, in its glory that is manifested today in the jihad and heroism of the Palestinian people in Gaza, the West Bank, across Palestine, and beyond.

Therefore I ask that you pray for him, and ask Allah swt to elevate his ranks in Jannah.

----------------------------

¿Amas a Abu Ubaidah?

Bueno, quiero que sepan que el mártir Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri fue de mayor importancia para Hamas.

El Jeque Saleh Al-Arouri fue uno de los líderes distinguidos y devotos del pueblo Palestino. Lo hemos perdido cuando más necesitábamos su presencia. Era un líder que infundía confianza y tranquilidad a quienes lo rodeaban y a aquellos con quienes trataba.

Lo hemos perdido como líder y como persona que creía en la justicia de la lucha del pueblo palestino hasta el martirio, y lo logró en la gran gloria de Palestina y de la resistencia, en su gloria que se manifiesta hoy en la yihad y el heroísmo del pueblo palestino en Gaza, Cisjordania,  en toda Palestina y más allá.

Por lo tanto, les pido que recen por él y le pidan a Allah swt que eleve sus filas en el Paraíso.

I still see people defending the IOF's bombing of hospitals, schools, and homes in Palestine by saying, "there are tunnels underneath them that Hamas uses" or "Hamas uses the people as human shields," so I thought I'd try to share something with them.

This is the building in which Saleh al-Arouri, the founding commander of the Al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas, was assassinated by Israeli forces on January 2, 2024, along with six (6) other Hamas members, adding up to seven (7) deaths.

Love them or hate them, that's not my point right now. My point is: look at the building.

Do you notice how it's still standing?

They targeted a single apartment flat, and the whole building is still standing. There are other apartment flats in the same building that look relatively untouched. The building next to it looks fine.

Additionally, only seven (7) people were killed in this strike, all of which were announced by Hamas as its members.

This is the kind of technology at the Israeli forces' disposal. And yet, when they bomb Palestinian schools and hospitals with the pretense of targeting Hamas soldiers, hundreds die and the entire building goes down, if not several others.

Maybe the IOF can be precise when they want to be.

But maybe, when it comes to Palestine, they don't want to be precise.

The Northern Front Between Fire And Waiting

Gaza war will continue for months, and for Israel to succeed in this complex issue, it needs to calm the northern front by creating chaos there. Perhaps Assad is the weakest link, and if he is removed from power, Read More!

By, Issam Khoury Oct 10, 2023 Saleh al-Arouri[1], the military leader of Hamas in Lebanon, known for his proximity to Hezbollah, specifically Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, may be one of the prominent names targeted by the Israelis if the military situation escalates on the northern front of this country, which is suffering from the ignition of a southern front that has led to…

An explosion in Beirut on Tuesday killed Saleh al-Arouri, a top official with the Palestinian militant group Hamas, and [six] others [including Al-Arouri, one of the founders of Hamas' military wing], officials with Hamas and the Lebanese group Hezbollah said. Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said the blast was carried out by an Israeli drone. Israeli officials declined to comment. Tuesday's blast shook a residential building in the Beirut suburb of Musharafieh. (...) If Israel is behind the attack it could mark a major escalation in the Middle East conflict. Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who has previously vowed to retaliate against any Israeli targeting of Palestinian officials in Lebanon, said on local television, "We affirm that this crime will never pass without response and punishment." Lebanon's Prime Minister Najib Mikati said many people were injured in the explosion, which he called "a crime" and said was meant "to drag Lebanon into a new phase of confrontation with Israel." —A top Hamas official, Saleh al-Arouri, is killed in Beirut blast | Updated on: January 2, 2024 / 8:46 PM EST (CBS News)

10min video & article (January 03, 2024):

Hassan Nasrallah: “We extend our congratulations and condolences to our dear brothers and great leader Sheikh Saleh, deputy leader of Hamas’s political office, and his fellow leaders and cadre in the al-Qassam Brigades and Hamas, who were martyred yesterday in a flagrant Israeli aggression in the southern suburb of Dahiyeh in Beirut.” —Hezbollah’s Nasrallah Vows Revenge After Killing of Hamas Official in Beirut | Headline | Jan 04, 2024 (Democracy Now)

Hezoballah run neighborhood? These are the same remarks they are using with Gaza. They said Hamas run ministry and told the public that they can't trust the death count. This is a serious escalation. No this isn't Gaza, this is Beirut, Lebanon. Reports of a large explosion In Beirut just hours ago. Western media quickly calling the explosion to have happened in a "Hezbollah-run neighborhood." We all already know what happened...

On the martyrdom of the great Palestinian leader, Yahya Sinwar.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. "Do not think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision." This is the Truth of Allah the Almighty.

The initiator of the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa opens with his martyrdom the gate to a new phase of victory. With great pride and honor, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command announces to our Palestinian people and to the Arab and Islamic nation the martyrdom of the great and creative leader, Yahya Sinwar, the launcher of the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa, the head of the Political Bureau of the Hamas Movement.

It congratulates our people and his brothers, the leaders and fighters of the Hamas Movement, on this blessed martyrdom of the leader of the battle of liberation, who rose as a martyr while fighting until the last moment to be a model of the inspiring leader whose blood will ignite the flame of the Flood of Al-Aqsa—just as the blood of the great leader, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, glowed on the road to Al-Quds, as did the blood of the great martyr leader, the fighter Ismail Haniyeh, and his companion, the great fighter leader Sheikh Saleh al-Arouri, and all the martyr leaders in the Battle of the Flood of Freedom.

We in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command are absolutely confident that the Hamas movement will grow stronger, more resilient and more capable of continuing the march of the martyred leaders, and that our steadfast, great people, despite the harshness of the battle, will remain the incubator of the struggle for their resistance. They will foil all the illusions of the enemy who deludedly believes that the Nazi war of extermination that they are waging against our Palestinian people and against the Lebanese people and their resistance and the policy of assassinating leaders may achieve their alleged goals of eliminating the resistance and drawing a new map for a humiliated Middle East.

Glory to the martyrs and victory to the resistance. And a revolution until the liberation of the land and people.

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command 18/10/2024
