Lebanese media: Israeli drone kills 2 Hamas members in southern Lebanon- Video

Lebanon’s media outlets say 2 members of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas have been killed in an Israeli drone strike targeting a car in the south of the country.

The media outlets, citing local sources, reported that the strike was carried out on Saturday afternoon as the vehicle was traveling along a road linking the Bazourieh area to Burj el-Shemali region in the southern district of Tyre.

The Israeli drone attack came amid strikes by fighters from Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah against Israeli military positions in response to the ongoing Israeli genocidal campaign in the besieged Gaza Strip.

It has been a string of assassinations by the regime in the recent past.

On January 2, senior Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri was assassinated in a “treacherous Zionist strike” on Beirut’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh, the Gaza-based resistance movement announced on its official channel. Hamas politburo member Izzat al-Rishq called it a “cowardly assassination.”

Arouri was known to be deeply involved in Hamas’ military affairs. He had previously headed the group in the occupied West Bank.
