Sharif was a commander in Lebanon and a member of Hamas’ command outside the Palestinian territories, Hamas said. Since the Israel-Hamas war began on October 7, Israeli airstrikes have killed several Hamas officials in Lebanon.

Meanwhile, an apparent Israeli airstrike on Central Beirut has levelled an apartment building. It came after Israel hit targets across Lebanon and killed dozens of people, as Hezbollah sustained heavy blows to its command structure, including the killing of its leader Hassan Nasrallah.
The early Mondazy airstrike – the first to hit central Beirut in nearly a year of conflict – hit a multi-storey residential building.

Videos showed ambulances and a crowd gathered near the building in a mainly Sunni district with a busy thoroughfare lined with shops.
In the past week, Israel has frequently targeted Beirut’s southern suburbs, where Hezbollah has a strong presence – including a major strike on Friday that killed Nasrallah – but had not hit locations near the city centre.

The Lebanese health Ministry said at least 105 people were killed around the country in airstrikes on Sunday. Two strikes near the southern city of Sidon, about 45 km south of Beirut, killed at least 32 people, the Ministry said.
Separately, Israeli strikes in the northern province of Baalbek Hermel killed 21 people and wounded at least 47.
Lebanese media reported dozens of strikes in the central, eastern and western bekaa and in the south, besides strikes on Beirut. Israel says it targets militants, but the strikes have hit buildings where civilians were living and the death toll was expected to rise. (Maxim News)
