‘We’ll have more’: Palestinians in Lebanon lay killed Hamas leader to rest

Al Jazeera  

Palestinians refugees from across the country pay their respects to top Hamas commander Saleh al-Arouri. Beirut, Lebanon – As Saleh al-Arouri’s coffin was laid to rest in Martyrs Cemetery in Shatila refugee camp in Lebanon’s capital, an elderly man saw a familiar routine play out. Al-Arouri was Hamas’s deputy commander and the group’s most senior figure to have been killed since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza on October 7. Hamas comes from us.” ‘His life wasn’t easy’ As the celebratory gunfire quieted down, Wael Abdel-Rahman, who described himself as a Hamas fighter, told Al Jazeera that al-Arouri’s life – like his death – was a tragedy, even though he advanced the Palestinian cause. “His life wasn’t easy, but we all want to die like him.” Abdel-Rahman added that he was training with Hamas in Lebanon and that he wants Hezbollah to expand its war with Israel, even though most Lebanese civilians would prefer not to be dragged into a wider regional conflict.
