Senior Hamas terrorist killed in southern Lebanon, IDF confirms
Muhammad Shaheen, a senior Hamas official, was killed in a drone strike on a vehicle near Sidon, southern Lebanon, on Monday, an Israeli official confirmed to The Jerusalem Post.
The strike was carried out in a joint IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) operation and guided by the Intelligence Directorate and Northern Command intelligence information.
Shaheen was Hamas’s head of operation within Lebanon. In his role, he tried to plan terror operations against Israeli citizens, whether within Israeli territory or during international travels.
Funding from Iran
In addition, the IDF said Shaheen was deeply involved in directing rocket attacks against Israel.
The IDF said that Shaheen also received funding directly from Iran to carry out these terror operations.
