Hamas official assassinated by Israel in Lebanon

An Israeli air strike in southern Lebanon reported earlier on Friday killed Sharhabil al-Sayed, a Hamas operative in charge of the group’s operations in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa Valley.

News agencies cited unnamed sources as saying al-Sayed was the main target. Hours earlier Israeli attacks killed a Hezbollah fighter and two children according to the group.
