Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri was the Deputy Head of the Political Bureau of Hamas.

Footage of the strike

Hezbollah statement in response:

We consider the assassination of Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri and his martyred companions in the heart of the southern suburb of Beirut a dangerous attack on Lebanon, its people, its security, its sovereignty, and its resistance. It carries deeply significant political and security messages and implications, and is a dangerous development in the course of the war between the enemy and the Axis of Resistance.

We in Hezbollah affirm that this crime will undoubtedly not go unanswered and unpunished. Our resistance remains firm, proud, and faithful to its principles and commitments that it has made to itself, ready with its hand on the trigger and its fighters at the highest level of readiness and preparedness.

Coupled with US strikes on Yemeni ships, the whole region is escalating fast. Coupled with Iranian missiles being primed in Venezuela as a deterrent, Iranian escalation is not out of the picture. Coupled with Chinese weapons in the hands of Hamas, this has some real WW3 vibes.

I think the chinese weapon thing is still uncomfirmed for accuracy's sake, and even if it's true it doesn't mean that they were sold by China itself

Fair. It means they are part of the supply chain. They can likely avoid entanglement, though, as you imply
