UPDATED: HAMAS OFFICIAL ASSASSINATED IN HIZBALLAH PRECINCT OF BEIRUT

NYT/AP:

Three bombs planted under a car exploded south of Beirut on Saturday, killing one person and wounding several others in an attack that apparently targeted an official from the Palestinian militant group Hamas, the state-run news agency said.

The official National News Agency said the explosion was caused by ''three bombs tied to each other'' that were placed under the car of an official believed to be from Hamas.

It did not identify the targeted official or the victims. One of the wounded was in serious condition, the report said.

Lebanese security officials told The Associated Press they could not independently confirm what caused the blasts or who the explosions targeted. The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which controls the area, sealed off the streets in the southern suburb of Haret Hreik and prevented journalists from getting close to the scene.

HMMMMMMMMMMM...

WHO COULD HAVE DONE IT?! THE IDF!? HIZBALLAH!? FATAH!?

UPDATE: IT WAS THE CHIEF OF HAMAS IN LEBANON - ALI BARKAH!
