Hamas official denies Israeli claim of leader’s assassination in northern Lebanon

BEIRUT, July 09 (YPA) – A senior official from Hamas in Lebanon has rejected claims made by the Israeli occupation military that one of the group’s leaders was killed in an airstrike in northern Lebanon.

According to a statement cited by Quds Press, the official said the Israeli narrative is inaccurate and that the assassination attempt had failed.

The denial comes hours after the Israeli occupation army announced it had targeted and eliminated a senior Hamas leader in the city of Tripoli.
