Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a video statement says Israel has killed Hamas’ “number four,” referring to Hamas' deputy political leader Saleh al-Arouri, Paralel.Az reports citing Times of Israel.

“We are on the way to total victory. On the way to this victory, we already eliminated number four in Hamas. Three, two, and one are on the way,” Netanyahu says.

“They are all dead men, we will reach them all,” he adds.

Al-Arouri was killed in an airstrike on Beirut in early January, although Israel never officially took responsibility for the attack.
