Israeli regime carried out a targeted drone strike on Friday, martyring Hassan Farhat, a prominent leader of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, in southern Lebanon.

The attack, which demolished a residential apartment in the city of Sidon, also claimed the lives of two other individuals, further highlighting the devastating toll of Israel’s unrelenting assaults on civilian areas.

Lebanese media confirmed that Farhat was the primary target of this cold-blooded operation, marking yet another assassination in Israel’s campaign against Palestinian resistance figures. The strike is part of a broader wave of intensified Israeli raids that have battered southern Lebanon since Thursday evening, with towns like Naqoura, Nabatieh, and Sidon enduring relentless bombardment.

The killing of Farhat in a densely populated residential zone underscores the Israeli regime’s blatant disregard for civilian lives and its ongoing violations of Lebanese sovereignty. This latest act of aggression comes amid a pattern of escalating violence targeting Palestinian leaders and their allies, as the Zionist state continues its efforts to suppress the legitimate struggle for Palestinian liberation. The people of Lebanon and the broader region mourn the loss of Farhat, a steadfast defender of Palestinian rights, as resistance voices vow to persist in the face of such brutality. (ILKHA)
