An Israeli airstrike recently targeted the al-Beddawi refugee camp in northern Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of a Hamas official and his family. Hamas stated that the strike killed Saeed Atallah Ali, a member of its military faction, the Qassam Brigades, along with his wife Shaymaa Azzam, and their two daughters, Zeinab and Fatima. The camp, located near Tripoli, had not been hit in the ongoing conflict until this incident.
This attack is part of a broader pattern of strikes targeting Hamas officials in Lebanon since the conflict between Israel and Hamas escalated in October 2023.
