STORYLINE:
An Israeli drone strike hit a car in southern Lebanon Friday, killing a Hamas official, state media reported.

National News Agency said the strike hit the southern entrance of the port city of Sidon, near one of the roads that lead to Lebanon’s largest refugee camp, Ein el-Hilweh.

It reported that Hamas official Samer al-Haj was killed.

The strike turned an SUV to a ball of fire on a main road and one body was seen being taken away minutes after.

Over the past months, several Hamas officials have been killed in Lebanon in airstrikes blamed on Israel.

Last week, Hezbollah said Israel killed its top commander Fouad Shukur in Beirut.

In January, the most senior Hamas official in Lebanon, Saleh Arouri, was killed in an airstrike in Beirut that was also blamed on Israel.
