Hamas official killed in Israel strike in South Lebanon's Sidon: Group source to AFP

An Israeli strike in South Lebanon's Sidon area early Sunday killed a Hamas official, a source from the Palestinian militant group told AFP.

The source, requesting anonymity, said the strike killed Hamas official Wissam Taha, after state media earlier reported a strike on an apartment in a residential building in a northern district of Sidon.

The coastal city is home to Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee camp, which Israel has previously struck in recent months, saying it was targeting Hamas.
