Hamas leader in Lebanon killed in air strikes

Hamas has said that the leader of its Lebanese group, Fateh Sharif Abu Al-Amin, has been killed by Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon. 

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine has also said that three of its leaders were killed in an Israeli air strike on central Beirut's Cola district.

The PFLP is a left-wing Palestinian armed group, and the second largest faction in the umbrella Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO).

It listed Mohammed Abdel Aal, Emad Odeh, and Abdel Rahman Abdel Aal among the deceased.

A senior general in Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps, Abbas Nilforoushan, was also killed in the strike, Iran state media said.

US president Joe Biden described the strike as a "measure of justice" for victims of Nasrallah, but Iran’s supreme leader has said his death "will not go unavenged"

Lebanese authorities said at least 105 people were killed in Israeli strikes on Sunday, with 359 people injured.
