An Israeli drone struck the offices of the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas in Beirut on Tuesday, killing four people.
Among the dead is one of the main figures of Hamas, Salah al-Arouri, the second in the hierarchy of the movement after Ismail Haniya, reports the Reuters news agency.
The explosion rocked Beirut as tensions escalated on the border with Israel. No immediate cause was given for the blast, but videos show extensive damage to cars and homes.
Lebanon's National News Agency reported that the explosion was heard in the Masrifiya neighborhood, south of Beirut, and that cars were on fire.
The cause of the explosion was unknown as of Tuesday afternoon, according to the agency. However, the Washington Post quoted a Hezbollah spokesman as saying that a Palestinian official's headquarters was targeted in the Dahiyeh suburb where Masrifiyah is located. The area is also home to Hezbollah's headquarters.
The explosion comes as tensions escalate on the border between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah group.
