Al-Mayadeen reported that an Israeli drone attacked an apartment in the Al-Zuhur neighborhood in Sidon, killing Hassan Farhat, a senior member of Hamas.

The strike caused two consecutive explosions, resulting in a fire that severely damaged the building.

Firefighting and emergency teams who rushed to the scene retrieved the bodies of the three victims. 

Israeli forces have continued to target areas in southern Lebanon despite a ceasefire agreement in place since 27 November 27 2024.

Israel has committed 1,289 violations of the agreement, leading to at least 108 fatalities and 335 injuries, according to official statistics cited by the Anadolu Agency.
