The Lebanese newspaper affiliated with Hezbollah, Al-Akhbar, published a preliminary investigation Thursday morning into the assassination of Salah al-Arouri, deputy chairman of Hamas' political bureau, who was assassinated on Thursday in Beirut's rejection quarter.
The newspaper said several agencies in the country were investigating the security breach that enabled the assassination of senior Hezbollah leader Salah al-Arouri. According to the report, the country finds it difficult to understand how the assassination succeeded, especially in light of the fact that Arouri was warned by Hezbollah that he was under surveillance and targeted for assassination.

In addition, the investigation notes that the fact that several different agencies are responsible for investigating the incident delays the publication of the investigation and makes it difficult to reveal the details. It added that it was unclear at this stage whether the assassination was carried out by a fighter jet or drone, but noted that the missile used in the killing "was intended to hit people inside a building, without collapsing it."
