The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has eliminated senior Hamas commander Samer Mahmoud al-Haj in Lebanon, according to the Telegram channel of the Israeli army.
The terrorist was eliminated by an airstrike targeting the Sidon area in Lebanon, located approximately 60 kilometers from the border between the two countries.
The Hamas commander was responsible for orchestrating terrorist attacks and launching rockets from Lebanon towards Israeli territory. Additionally, Samer was the commander of military forces at the Ain al-Hilweh camp near Sidon and was in charge of recruiting and training terrorists for attacks on Israel.

Strikes on Hezbollah positions
Additionally, the IDF air force targeted a Hezbollah launch site with ready-to-fire rockets in the Hamama area of southern Lebanon.
The Israeli army also struck terrorist infrastructure in the areas of Ayta ash-Shab, Mehabib, Markaba, and Kfarkela.
On Friday, Hezbollah militants launched rockets into Israeli territory. The IDF artillery responded with strikes on the Lebanese area of Meiss Ej Jabal.
Assassination of Hamas leader
On July 31 in Tehran, Ismail Haniyeh, a political leader of the Hamas organization, was killed. Militants accused Israeli intelligence services of the assassination.
Israel informed the US that it was indeed responsible for the killing.
Initially, Iranian authorities announced plans to launch a large-scale attack on Israel. However, Tehran later indicated that such a decision might be reconsidered.
