Senior Hamas officials flee Lebanon after killing of terror group deputy Arouri – report

Sensible. They’ll just die tired, but still sensible.
[IsraelTimes] Several Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
officials who were living in Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds.

It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade.

have fled to neighboring countries and other allies after Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri was killed in an alleged Israeli strike, the Kan public broadcaster reports.

...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
and Syria, the report states, while the terror group’s front man Ghazi Hamad has been in Cairo, Egypt since al-Arouri’s death and has supposedly not made any plans to return to Lebanon.

The explosion that killed al-Arouri has been widely attributed to Israel, while Israeli officials have declined to comment.

In addition to al-Arouri, six others were killed in the blast, including Hamas officials Mahmoud Shaheen, Muhammad Bashasha, Muhammad al-Rayes and Ahmed Hammoud.
