An Israeli air strike targeting a Hamas official in Lebanon caused heavy damage to an apartment block in Sidon and sparked panic in the neighborhood. The strike killed the Hamas commander, his adult son, and daughter. The Lebanese Prime Minister condemned the strike as a breach of the ceasefire with Israel. Israel alleged that the Hamas commander had orchestrated multiple attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians. This comes after a recent strike in south Beirut that killed a Hezbollah Palestinian liaison officer.
