The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas mourned on Monday its leader in Lebanon and a member of its leadership abroad, Martyr Fateh Sharif - Abu al-Amin, who was killed in Israeli aggression along with his wife, son, and daughter, in a targeted airstrike against their home in the al-Buss refugee camp in South Lebanon. 

Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) reported earlier that an Israeli raid targeted the al-Bass Palestinian refugee camp near the city of Sour, noting that this marks the first time the camp has been targeted since the onset of the aggression against Lebanon. 

In a statement, Hamas affirmed that leader Abu al-Amin has ascended as a martyr in the blessed Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood on the path to al-Quds, joining the leaders and martyrs that preceded him, after a lifetime and journey full of service to the people of Palestine, their legitimate struggle, and their just cause.

Hamas also described Martyr Abu al-Amin as being "active and vibrant" and "brave and courageous."

Hamas pledged to the martyr and all Palestine's martyrs to remain steadfast on their path, until the occupation is defeated and expelled from the land of Palestine and al-Quds and the detainees are liberated.

Earlier, "Israel" also assassinated three members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, including two leaders, in a targeted aggression against a multi-level residential building in the area of Cola, Beirut. 

This would be the first time "Israel" attacked the Lebanese capital, excluding its Southern Suburb.
