Over the past 19 months, Israel’s military has targeted members of Hamas in Lebanon where the Palestinian group has a military presence.
The group has also carried out rocket attacks from Lebanon since the Israel-Hamas war began on October 7, 2023, and in recent weeks Lebanese authorities detained several men linked to Hamas on suspicion of firing rockets toward Israel.
Lebanese authorities warned Hamas last week that it would face the “harshest measures” if it carried out any attacks from Lebanon. (AP) GRS GRS
