A drone strike was carried out in Beirut, Lebanon that killed the deputy leader of Hamas. Israel has yet to publicly claim responsibility for the attack on its sovereign neighbor's capital city.
Since the start of the war Israeli troops have exchanged near daily gunfire with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, and the current attack is likely to raise tensions and could potentially lead to further spreading of the conflict.
Israeli cabinet members have been seen as stoking flames with recent calls for Palestinians to leave Gaza in a repeat of the Israeli nation founding event that saw many Palestinians dispossessed of their ancestral lands.
