BEIRUT, Aug 9 (Reuters) - An Israeli airstrike on a car deep inside Lebanon killed a senior figure from Palestinian armed group Hamas on Friday evening, a Hamas source and two other security sources told Reuters.
The strike, on the southern edges of the Lebanese port city of Sidon some 60 kilometres (nearly 40 miles) from the frontier, killed Samer al-Hajj, a Hamas security official who works in the nearby refugee camp for Palestinians, Ain al-Hilweh. His bodyguard was critically wounded, the three sources said.
The Israeli military has been carrying out strikes against members of Hamas, allied Lebanese armed group Hezbollah and other factions in Lebanon over the last 10 months, in parallel with the Gaza war.
Those armed groups have launched rockets, drones and artillery attacks across the border into northern Israel.
While most of the hostilities have been limited to the strip of border between Israel and Lebanon, Israeli strikes targeting senior figures in Hezbollah, Hamas and other groups have taken place further north.
An Israeli strike on the outskirts of Beirut in January killed Hamas's deputy chief Saleh Arouri. Another Israeli strike on the same area last week killed Hezbollah's top military commander Fuad Shukr.
Hours after Shukr was killed, Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran. Iran and its allies in the region, including Hezbollah and Hamas, have blamed Israel and vowed retaliation.

Taking care of business!
I’ll bet there aren’t a bunch of trannies and faggots in the IDF, interfering with their operational effectiveness. Just sayin’.
And once again Bibi says to Demento Joe and the Ho: F**k you both!
...and the Donk-azz you rode on!
like shark’s teeth...
Good ahead - make my day!
Appears tp be a noisier operation than the one that hunted down all the Moslem killers of the Israeli Olympic team some years ago. These people are relentless. It is good that somebody is.
Munich-saw the movie. Didn’t care for Spielberg injecting guilt into the mix. Then there was all that gourmet cooking/dining. Colorful veggies. Didn’t get it.
IDF planes have been creating sonic booms over Beriut.
The BOOMS are a message to Hassan Nasrallah........”we know where you are hiding”
Everything Bibi does is a lesson in leadership. Show’n Joe how it’s done!! 😏
I didn’t see the movie, just the news and later opinion pieces that would be pod-casts these days.
Netanyahu, I believe, as vowed to kill all the organizers and leaders of the October slaughter.This time it is the Air Force doing most of the work though MOSSAD is surely in the mix, also.
