Various world leaders and institutions have raised their concerns that the presumed Israeli strike in a suburb of Beirut, Lebanon, that killed a top Hamas leader could escalate and expand the conflicts in the region.
Deputy leader Saleh al Arouri — who was allegedly responsible for leading multiple attacks on Israel and had ushered in a closer relationship between Hamas and Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia in Lebanon — was one of a handful of people killed in the Tuesday night strike.
His killing marked a possibly pivotal moment in the powder keg that is the Middle East. Israeli leaders have repeatedly said they would hunt down every Hamas leader responsible for the Oct. 7 attacks that left roughly 1,200 people dead, including those who do not reside within the Gaza Strip.
"We are deeply concerned at any potential for escalation that could have devastating consequences for people on both sides of the Blue Line," United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon spokeswoman Kandice Ardiel told Lebanese state-run National News Agency on Wednesday.
