The Palestinian militant group, Hamas has said that its leader in Lebanon, Fateh Sherif Abu el-Amin, was killed in an Israeli strike on Monday, along with his wife, son, and daughter.
According to a Reuters report, the strike targeted their home in a Palestinian refugee camp in Tyre, located in southern Lebanon, with the militant group calling the attack “an escalation of Israel’s aggression.”
However, the Israeli military has not commented on the strikes.
In a similar development, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) also reported that three of its leaders were killed in a separate strike in Beirut’s Kola district, marking the first attack within the city limits.
The group said, “Three of our top officials were martyred in this unprovoked assault.”
The intensification of Israeli operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon and Houthi forces in Yemen has raised fears of a broader regional conflict.
As Israeli airstrikes continue to target key militant leaders, concerns have mounted that the violence may draw in major powers such as Iran and the United States.
