"Israeli Strike in South Lebanon Kills Senior Hamas Leader Amid Political Squabbling Over War Budget"

An Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon killed a member of Hamas from the nearby Palestinian camp of Rashidieh, identified as Hadi Mustafa, and a Syrian man. The Israeli military called Mustafa a "significant" Hamas operative, alleging he was responsible for attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets worldwide. Hamas has a political and military presence in Lebanon, and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel in October in support of Hamas. Israel has been carrying out strikes in Lebanon, mostly confined to the border region but increasingly spreading further north and east.

Deadly Israeli Airstrikes Decimate Palestinian Refugee Camp

Israeli airstrikes on a Palestinian refugee camp in Gaza have killed over 80 people, including children, and deepened fears for the safety of hundreds of thousands of civilians seeking refuge in the area. The strikes targeted crowded UN shelters and a hospital, leaving the region with limited medical resources. The Israeli military declined to comment on the attacks. The ongoing conflict has displaced over 1.6 million people, with food and water supplies running low and the risk of starvation increasing. Aid agencies are struggling to provide assistance due to fuel shortages and communication problems. The death toll from the conflict, according to Hamas-run health authorities, has surpassed 12,000, including 5,000 children.

Violent Clashes Claim Lives in Lebanon's Palestinian Refugee Camp

Clashes in the Ain al-Helweh Palestinian refugee camp in south Lebanon have resulted in the deaths of three fighters and a civilian, with dozens of others wounded. The violence, which broke out again after a period of calm, has prompted Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati to criticize Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas for the escalating situation. The fighting has centered around a school compound belonging to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, which had previously warned of militants occupying its schools in the camp. The Lebanese army, which traditionally does not enter the camps, has called for an end to the fighting and is taking measures to protect innocent lives.

Renewed Clashes in Lebanon's Ein el-Hilweh Camp Escalate Palestinian Rivalries

Clashes between rival factions, Fatah and hardline groups, have resumed in Lebanon's Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp, resulting in at least 20 people injured and prompting residents to flee. The camp, housing over 63,000 registered refugees, has been a battleground for decades-long power struggles. The recent violence follows street battles that left 13 dead and forced hundreds to flee. An uneasy truce had been in place since August 3, but clashes were expected to resume as the accused killers of a Fatah general were not handed over to the Lebanese judiciary. The fighting temporarily subsided on Friday, with no immediate reports of deaths.

Lebanon's Warning: Troops Ready to Intervene as Clashes Persist in Palestinian Refugee Camp
