The military wing of the Hamas movement, Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, mourned the martyrdom of Commander Khalil Hamid Kharraz, whose military alias is Abu Khaled, from the Rashidiya Refugee Camp, after he was assassinated by the Israeli occupation in southern Lebanon earlier on Tuesday.

The al-Qassam Brigades said in its statement that the martyred leader assisted the Resistance in Palestine and abroad with operations and logistics, leaving behind a legacy for the Resistance.

Yesterday, the National News Agency reported that the Israeli occupation's military targeted a civilian vehicle on a side road between Chaaitiyeh and Qlaileh in the district of Tyre, which resulted in the martyrdom of Abou Khaled and 3 others.

It is important to note that earlier in August, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah reiterated the Resistance's stance, warning that any assassination that targets a Lebanese, Palestinian, or Iranian personnel, among others, on Lebanese soil would not be tolerated.

He underlined that the Resistance "will not allow Lebanon to be an arena for assassinations, and we will not accept changing the existing rules of engagement. The Israelis should be very well aware of this fact."

'Israel' deliberately kills Al Mayadeen's crew in South Lebanon

Al Mayadeen's correspondent, Farah Omar, and cameraman Rabih Me'mari were also murdered yesterday in an Israeli airstrike on their location in Tayr Harfa, South Lebanon.

An Israeli warplane fired two rockets on Farah and Rabih's location.

Farah and Rabih had just ended a live broadcast around 11 a.m., giving updates on the latest Israeli bombardment in South Lebanon. She and her colleagues were targeted soon after they wrapped up their coverage and went off air.
