An Israeli airstrike targeted the residence of Fatah leader Munir al-Maqdah in the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp in Sidon, southern Lebanon, resulting in one confirmed death and several injuries. This incident has heightened tensions in the region, particularly as it follows a series of recent airstrikes by Israel that have resulted in significant casualties among Palestinian groups.
The strike which occurred on September 30, 2024, was part of Israel’s ongoing military operations against Palestinian militant factions in Lebanon.
Reports indicate that while Munir al-Maqdah survived the attack, the airstrike caused substantial damage to his residence and surrounding buildings.
The identity of the deceased has not been publicly disclosed, but local sources suggest he may have been associated with al-Maqdah.
The day prior to this incident, an airstrike in Beirut’s Kola district reportedly killed three members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), showing Israel’s aggressive stance against various Palestinian factions operating within Lebanon.
