IDF Targets Top Hamas Commander in Lebanon
(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - An Israeli drone strike on a car in the Lebanese city of Sidon on Monday killed Mohammed Shaheen, the head of Hamas's operations in Lebanon, the IDF said. Shaheen was involved in plotting and advancing terror attacks from Lebanon against Israeli civilians, with Iranian funding and guidance. "Shaheen was a significant source of knowledge within the organization and was involved throughout the war with advancing various terror attacks, including rocket fire on the Israeli home front," the IDF added. Hamas has a significant presence in Lebanon. The Nov. 27 ceasefire agreement gives Israel the right to act against imminent threats. On Sunday, Israel said it carried out airstrikes targeting Hizbullah military sites deep in Lebanon.
