Israeli strikes in Lebanon kill Hamas and Palestinian leaders

Hamas announced that an Israeli strike killed its leader in Lebanon, Fateh Sherif Abu el-Amin, on Monday.

Meanwhile – the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) reported that three of its leaders were killed in a strike on Beirut’s Kola district.

It marks the first attack within Beirut’s city limits.

The strike hit the upper floor of an apartment building, Reuters witnesses said.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry has reported over 1,000 deaths and 6,000 injuries among the Lebanese population –

with one million people displaced by the fighting.

Israel has vowed to keep up the assault and says it wants to make its northern areas secure again for residents who have been forced to flee Hezbollah rocket attacks.

Israeli drones hovered over Beirut for much of Sunday, with the loud blasts of new airstrikes echoing around the Lebanese capital.

Israel on Sunday also launched airstrikes against the Houthi militia in Yemen and dozens of Hezbollah targets throughout Lebanon after earlier killing the Hezbollah leader.

The Houthi-run health ministry said at least four people were killed and 29 wounded in airstrikes on Yemen’s port of Hodeidah.
