An Israeli airstrike in the southern Lebanese coastal city of Sidon has killed a Hamas official, according to a report by AFP. A Hamas source, speaking on condition of anonymity, identified the deceased as Wisam Taha, a member of the organization. The attack targeted an apartment in a residential building in Sidon, as reported by Lebanon’s state media.

Sidon hosts Lebanon’s largest Palestinian refugee camp and has been struck multiple times by Israel in recent months. Israel has stated that its operations in the area are aimed at targeting Hamas members. The latest strike adds to a series of cross-border incidents that have heightened tensions in the region.

The report did not provide further details about casualties or official responses from either side following the attack.
