Claims Emerge of Hamas Attack in Lebanon

On the 17th (local time), Israeli forces reportedly carried out an airstrike targeting a car in Sidon, southern Lebanon.


According to Lebanon's state-run NNA news agency and others, around 10 a.m. that day, a passenger car traveling on a coastal road on the outskirts of Sidon toward Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, was attacked by a drone. One person in the car died as a result. The identity of the deceased has not been confirmed.


In Lebanon, there are claims that "the Israeli military targeted a Hamas official, the Palestinian armed faction." Meanwhile, Israel has not confirmed the attack. With a ceasefire deadline set until the 18th between Israel and Hezbollah, the Iran-backed armed faction in Lebanon, concerns are rising that this airstrike could lead to a resumption of hostilities in Lebanon.
