Fatah Sharif Abu al-Amin, the head of Hamas in Lebanon and a member of the leadership of the group abroad, was killed in an attack on his home in the Al-Bas camp in southern Lebanon, Hamas has announced. His wife, son, and daughter also died.

The head of the Palestinian terrorist organisation Hamas in Lebanon, Fatah Sharif Abu al-Amin, was killed in an airstrike in the south of the country, where the Israeli army is conducting an offensive against another terrorist organisation, Hezbollah. Hamas confirmed the information about the leader's death.

The Israeli airstrike on the camp near the city of Tyre was previously reported by the official Lebanese agency ANI. The Israeli armed forces have been carrying out intensive air raids for a week as part of the "Northern Arrows" operation. The goal of the operation is to restore security in northern Israel, which Hezbollah attacks have plagued for a year.

According to reports from Lebanese authorities, Israeli airstrikes have led to the deaths of over 700 people, several thousand have been injured, and over one million people have had to flee their homes. The ongoing attacks over the past week have forced more than 60,000 residents of northern Israel to flee.
