Israeli strike on al-Beddawi camp kills Hamas official
An Israeli strike on a refugee camp in north Lebanon has killed a Hamas official and his family, the Palestinian group said Saturday.
Hamas said in a statement that the early Saturday strike on the al-Beddawi refugee camp struck the home of Saeed Atallah Ali, an official with Hamas’ military wing, the Qassam Brigades. Ali’s wife, Shaymaa Azzam, and their two daughters, Zeinab and Fatima — whom the statement described as children — were also killed in the attack.
Al-Beddawi camp is near the northern city of Tripoli. It was the first such strike on the camp in the recent conflict.
Israel has killed several Hamas officials in Lebanon since the Israel-Hamas war began in October 2023.
