Israeli Strikes Kill Hamas Leader in Lebanon

After killing Hassan Nasrallah—who led Hezbollah for 3 decades—in an airstrike, Israel has continued to target the leadership of Iran-backed terrorist groups.

Hamas and another terrorist group that calls itself the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) said on Sept. 30 that their respective leaders in Lebanon were targeted and killed in separate Israeli air strikes.

Hamas released a statement on the death of the Islamist group’s leader in Lebanon, Fateh Sherif Abu el-Amin (also Fateh Sharif Abu al-Amine), who the terrorist group said was killed, alongside his wife, son, and daughter, by a strike that targeted their house in the Palestinian refugee camp of el-Buss (also Al-Bass) in the southern seaside city of Tyre (also known as Sour). The strike happened in the early hours of Sept. 30.
