JAKARTA - The Israeli military on Monday killed a Hamas leader in thetensive region of Lebanon south.
The army said Muhammad Shaheen was the head of the Hamas operations department in Lebanon and he was recently involved in promoting "terrorist plans" with Iran's direction and funding from Lebanese territory against Israelis.
Israel's attack on a car in the port town ofASH in southern Lebanon targeted an official in the Palestinian militant group, two Lebanese security sources told Reuters earlier.
Lebanese news agency said rescue teams had removed a body from the car but did not identify the victim.
The Israeli military has carried out attacks on members of Hamas, allies of Lebanese armed groups, Hezbollah, and other factions in Lebanon, along with the Gaza war.
The armed groups have launched rocket, drone, and artillery attacks across the border into northern Israel.
Under a ceasefire brokered by Washington in November, Israeli forces were given 60 days to withdraw from southern Lebanon where they had launched ground attacks against Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters since early October.
The deadline was later extended to February 18, but the Israeli military requested that they keep troops at five posts in southern Lebanon, sources told Reuters last week.
