An Israeli drone strike in Sidon, southern Lebanon, has killed Mohammad Shahin, a senior Hamas military commander.

This incident marks the deepest Israeli incursion into Lebanon since the November ceasefire with Hezbollah.

The attack occurred just one day before Israel’s scheduled withdrawal from southern Lebanon, a commitment now in question.

Lebanon’s government and Hezbollah have condemned these actions, citing over 930 Israeli violations since the ceasefire began, resulting in numerous civilian casualties. The situation raises concerns about escalating tensions and the potential collapse of the fragile truce.
