Hamas has confirmed 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.
Gatekeepers News reports that the strike targeted their home in a Palestinian refugee camp in Tyre, located in southern Lebanon, according to a Reuters report.
Hamas issued a statement mourning the loss and called the attack “an escalation of Israel’s aggression”.
Also, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) 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.
“Three of our top officials were martyred in this unprovoked assault,” the group said.
The Israeli military has not commented on the strikes.
Israeli airstrikes have continued to target key militant leaders, raising concerns that the violence may draw in major powers such as Iran and the United States.
