Info about his involvment in the 2014 kidnapping and murder of Israeli teenagers

Here it is written that "Al-Arouri was responsible for the 2014 kidnapping and murder of Israeli teenagers" and that is sourced to six sources. All of them is from when al-Arouri said in a conference in Turkey that Hamas' military wing kidnapped them. If Hamas was involved or not was a central question so it is impossible to have missed that Hamas denied responsibility. This is a perfect example of when only one side of the story is told and the other one is left out. One doesn't even have to search much to see doubts being raised about Saleh al-Arouri's claim, you can just look in the the Wikipedia article 2014 kidnapping and murder of Israeli teenagers and see several of them. One of them is from Haaretz, where Amos Harel and Chaim Levinson write "After the bodies were found, Arouri boasted about the kidnapping. But the defense establishment believes this was empty boasting, and that he had nothing to do with the plot". --IRISZOOM (talk) 20:58, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated the article to clarify what the sources are reporting and added the Haaretz article. Another related article is Shin Bet Seeks Lenient Plea Deals for Hamas Operatives to Avoid Testifying About Torture Methods. --IRISZOOM (talk) 16:56, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Precision airstrike"

It's worth noting that the "precision airstrike" that killed al-Arouri also killed at least three other people: https://today.lorientlejour.com/article/1362776/four-hezbollah-fighters-killed-in-southern-lebanon-as-israeli-strikes-continue-day-88-of-hamas-israel-war.html

Could someone with more points add that in?
