Israel has repeatedly targeted Hamas and Hezbollah officials in Lebanon since the Gaza war erupted almost a year ago.
An Israeli strike on a refugee camp in north Lebanon on Saturday killed Hamas commander Saeed Atallah Ali and his family, the militant group has said.
In a statement, Hamas reported that an early Saturday strike on the Beddawi refugee camp targeted the home of Atallah Ali. The attack also claimed the lives of Ali’s wife, Shaimaa Azzam, and their two daughters, who were described in the statement as children, The Associated Press reported.
Beddawi camp is near the northern city of Tripoli. Atallah Ali was a key leader of the al-Qassam brigades. Israel has yet to comment on the strike.
Israel has repeatedly targeted Hamas and Hezbollah officials in Lebanon since the war between Israel and Hamas erupted almost a year ago on October 7, when 1,200 Israelis were killed and 250 were taken hostage.
