Hamas chief involved in Israeli teens’ 2014 kidnapping believed to be in Lebanon
The Palestinian terrorist believed by Israeli intelligence officials to have planned the kidnap and murder of three Jewish teens in the West Bank in the summer of 2014 is reportedly living in Lebanon, after being expelled from Qatar.
Saleh al-Arouri is believed to be the group’s military commander in the West Bank and the founder of the West Bank branch of Hamas’s military wing.
Palestinian sources confirmed earlier this month that Qatar — now embroiled in a boycott by Saudi Arabia and four other Arab states — asked several top Hamas officials to leave for Lebanon, Turkey and Malaysia.
