While Israel hasn’t publicly taken credit for the assassination, Israeli intelligence has been trying to kill al-Arouri for years and the United States has had a 5 million dollar bounty on him since 2015.

Israel War Update – Day 80
The IDF published information about a large tunnel network in Jabaliya, where earlier this month the IDF found bodies of five slain Israeli hostages. The IDF had intelligence about hostages being held in Jabaliya. During searches, they located several tunnel shafts, which they investigated further. The massive underground tunnel network was about one square kilometer, had two levels, an elevator, large halls, restrooms, and a command center. Some of the tunnels went underneath a school and hospital, or led into the home of the former commander of Hamas’s Northern Gaza brigade.
