ALBAWABA - In the aftermath of the tragic assault in Beirut resulting in the death of Saleh Al-Arouri, Deputy Chief of the Hamas Political Bureau, Lebanon has escalated its response by officially submitting a complaint against Israel to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

The Lebanese government asserts that Israel deployed six missiles in the attack, which claimed the lives of Al-Aruri and six other members of Hamas.

Amidst the ongoing tension following the assault in Beirut, the Lebanese government has chosen to pursue diplomatic channels, formally notifying the UNSC about Israel's alleged use of six missiles in the attack.

The complaint additionally highlights Israel's purported use of Lebanese airspace to carry out an attack on Syria. The situation unfolds as regional dynamics continue to intensify.
