A Hamas military official, the Palestinian Charhabil el-Sayyed, was killed in an Israeli strike targeting his car early on Friday evening in the Masnaa-Majdel Anjar region, near the Lebanese-Syrian border in the Bekaa.

His companion, also Palestinian, was taken to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

In the evening, Israeli raids targeted the village of Houla, where an elderly couple suffocated to death from toxic smoke.

In addition, Israeli attacks on Friday morning in the Najjariyé district (Saida caza) left three people dead (including one Lebanese and two Syrians) and several injured.

As a result of the multiple strikes on Najjariye, Hussein Khodr Mehdi, a Hezbollah executive, is reported to have lost his life after an airstrike targeted a vehicle. Three Syrians were also injured. The town’s fields were targeted in a second strike, but no injuries were reported, as the missile failed to explode.

A third attack was carried out on a stone factory in Najjariye, killing two Syrians, wounding two others and leaving several others missing.


The Hebrew state also fired a mortar shell at Hula (Marjayoun), an area near which it had also carried out strikes on Thursday.

Israeli raids also hit the villages of Kfar Kila, Deir Syriane, Taybé, Odaisseh and Kfar Hamam.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for several missile attacks on Israeli targets, including a logistics base in the Golan Heights, positions in Zaoura, Raheb, Jal al-Alam, Bayad Blida, Al-Baghdadi and Malkiya, as well as surveillance equipment in the Biranit barracks.

On the Israeli side, the Israeli army's Arabic-speaking spokesman, Avichay Adraee, announced on the Platform X that "around 75 rockets were fired from Lebanon towards Israeli territory," adding that dozens of them had been intercepted.

He also stated that the Israeli army had destroyed a rocket launcher belonging to Hezbollah in the Yaroun region.
