According to the statement, the three senior officials who were eliminated are Muhammad Abdel Aal, Imad Ouda, and Abdul Rahman Abdel Aal.

Israel has not officially commented on the claims thus far. This is the first time since the start of the war that an attack outside of the Dahieh district of Beirut has been reported.

Additionally, the Hamas terror group said on Monday that its senior member, Fatah Sharif Abu al Amin, was killed in an IDF strike in the area of Tyre, along with his wife, son and daughter.

Al Amin, who was quick to praise the Hamas massacre on October 7, was described as the terrorist group’s leader in Lebanon and a member of its international leadership. He was also employed by the UN’s Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and was chairman of its teacher’s union.

UNRWA said that he was suspended from his position as teacher in the UN’s school last March for a period of three months over what it described was a violation of regulations. After his suspension, dozens protested outside the UNRWA offices in Beirut. UNRWA leader Phillipe Lazzarini later reinstated Al Amin, explaining that “Workers cannot time and again be fired over their nationalistic activities or memberships. Professor Fatah Al-Sharif’s resignation is not a current option and it has been agreed that the UNRWA authorities will not put workers on trial for humanitarian and nationalist work for their people.”

Fatah Al-Sharif, eliminated in Tyre

The IDF announced Sunday that it had killed Nabil Kaouk, the deputy head of Hezbollah’s Central County, in an airstrike on Saturday.Kaouk was a veteran member of the terrorist group going back to the 1980s, and served as Hezbollah’s military commander in southern Lebanon during the 2006 war with Israel.

Saudi reports claim that the IDF also eliminated the Hezbollah commander who coordinated the transfer of forces between Lebanon and Syria.

Thus, within the space of two days, Israel has targeted the leaders of three independent terrorist groups operating in Lebanon- Hezbollah, PFLP and Hamas.
