Suspected Hamas Financier Found Dead in Lebanon Amid Regional Tensions
Mohammed Sarur, linked to both Hamas and Hezbollah, was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds in his home near Beirut.
- Mohammed Sarur, accused of funneling millions from Iran to Hamas, was found dead in Beit Meri, Lebanon.
- Sarur's death is suspected to be linked to his financial activities with Iran-backed groups and not a robbery, as money was found at the scene.
- He was sanctioned by the US in 2019 for his alleged role in transferring funds between Iran's Revolutionary Guards and Hamas.
- Tensions between Israel and Iran-backed groups like Hezbollah have escalated, with recent exchanges of fire and threats of retaliation.
- Lebanese officials have not named suspects, but the nature of the killing suggests a targeted assassination rather than a random act.
