According to Hamas, an Israeli strike killed its leader in Lebanon.

Hamas claimed that its leader in Lebanon, Fateh Sherif Abu el-Amin, had been killed in an Israeli attack in the south; the attack occurred in Beirut’s Kola district and may have been the first on the capital since the Israeli attack on Hezbollah in 2006.Israel had limited its attacks on the capital city of Lebanon to its suburbs in the south. Which parts of Beirut were still shielded from Israel’s escalating aerial campaign was uncertain following the airstrike. Throughout much of Sunday, Israeli drones were circling over Beirut, and the deafening sounds of fresh airstrikes could be heard all over the city.
