According to Lebanese sources, a man was killed when his vehicle was hit in a drone attack. According to the Israeli military, he was responsible for attacks on Israel.
Israel’s army says it has killed a member of Hamas in Lebanon in an attack. Hamas confirmed the death of its “martyr”. Mohammed Jabara was responsible for attacks and rocket attacks on Israel, the Israeli military said. “His elimination weakens the ability of the terrorist organization Hamas to plan and carry out attacks on the State of Israel in the northern border area.”
According to Lebanese sources, the man died when his vehicle was hit in the east of the country. His car caught fire during the incident in the Bekaa Valley.
In another Israeli drone attack in the south of the country, a member of Hezbollah was killed, according to Lebanese security sources. Israel’s army confirmed that a member of a Shiite militia engineer unit was killed in the attack. The man was said to have been involved in numerous attacks on Israel.
Almost daily battles between the two countries
Lebanese security sources and the Lebanese state agency NNA initially said that Jabara, who was killed in the Israeli drone attack in the Bekaa Valley, belonged to the militant Lebanese group Al-Jamaa al-Islamiya. Hamas had identified him as a member in order to underline the close cooperation between the two Sunni organizations, Lebanese security sources said. This had happened several times in the past.
According to Israel’s army, Jabara carried out some attacks in cooperation with the extremist group Al-Jamaa al-Islamiya. The militant organization is close to the Shiite militia Hezbollah and Hamas in the Gaza Strip and says it supports their fight against Israel.
In June, the Israeli army killed a member of the group in an attack in the Bekaa Valley. The military said at the time that the man was responsible for supplying weapons to Hamas and Al-Jamaa al-Islamiya.
Israel and the Lebanese Hezbollah militia have been fighting almost daily since the start of the Gaza war. There have been deaths on both sides. Hezbollah, which is supported by Iran, says it is acting in solidarity with Hamas, which is also active in Lebanon. There have long been fears that the conflict could escalate.
