Profile: Saleh al-Arouri
Saleh al-Arouri and his comrades, Samir Afandi (Abu Amer) and Azzam al-Aqra, and the martyrs Zaki Shahin, Mohammed al-Reis, Mohammed Bshasha and Ahmed Hamoud, were assassinated in an Israeli drone strike in the Lebanese Capital of Beirut.
The horrific act of terror came as the Israeli regimes genocidal campaign against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip surpassed three months, leaving behind more than 22,000 fatalities, mostly women and children. Due to his high stature in the Palestinian resistance camp, Israeli spy agency Mossad had designated Saleh al-Arouri as a key target, which Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth also reported on October 25, putting him on a list of six top Hamas leaders in the crosshairs of the Israeli fire.
Despite facing years of imprisonment, torture, and multiple assassination attempts, he never surrendered or retreated. His unwavering faith and confidence in the Palestinian resistance movement gave jitters to the Zionist enemy. The assassination of al-Arouri by an Israeli drone strike was condemned by Hamas as a "cowardly assassination" and a futile attempt to break the will and resistance of the Palestinian people. Al-Arouri never gave in to Israeli threats to kill him. In his view, as a resistance fighter, martyrdom was a gift as he was ready to sacrifice himself for a "right and a just cause that is the liberation of Palestine.
