The Israeli military claimed to have killed Khalil al-Makdah in a strike in the port city of Sidon in the south because he was orchestrating assaults and smuggling weapons into the occupied West Bank on behalf of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.
According to reports, it was the first attack on a Fatah member since the Gaza War began, which has caused Israel and Hezbollah’s cross-border hostilities to worsen.
Following the death of a prominent Hezbollah leader in Beirut, whom Israel accused of being responsible for the missile strike that killed twelve children, tensions have escalated in recent weeks.

More than 530 fatalities have been reported thus far in Israel, including 26 civilian deaths, and at least 130 civilian deaths in Lebanon. On both sides of the border, there have also been close to 200,000 displaced individuals.
On Tuesday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant informed the troops that the military’s “centre of gravity” was progressively moving from Gaza to the border with Lebanon.
“We are preparing for any eventuality by attacking munitions warehouses in Lebanon,” he said.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declared on Wednesday morning that throughout the course of the night, its planes had destroyed many Hezbollah weapons storage sites in the northern Bekaa Valley, which is the group’s heartland, along with an air defense system installation.
In the southern border settlement of Beit Lif, the IDF announced that it had hit a fighter affiliated with Hezbollah.
According to Lebanon’s health ministry, thirty people were hurt in the Bekaa area strikes, nine of them were children. One person, who was not named, died as a result of the strikes.

The region between Saraain and Safri, Nabi Chit, and the outskirts of Bodai town were the targets of the attacks, according to the state-run National News Agency (NNA).
Hezbollah acknowledged the death of a fighter from the area known as Hussein Mostafa, while the health ministry also announced the death of a guy in Beit Lif.

Hezbollah claimed to have fired a flurry of rockets at an IDF logistical facility in the Golan Heights in retaliation for the attacks.
About fifty rockets were fired from Lebanon, according to the IDF, some of which landed in the Katzrin settlement.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service reports that a 30-year-old male was hit by a missile that caused his residence to catch fire, leaving him with moderate shrapnel wounds.

Brigadier General Alon Friedman, the deputy commander of the IDF’s Northern Command, charged Hezbollah with specifically targeting the 8,000 civilian residents of Katzrin.
at addition, Hezbollah reported that it had attacked Israeli military installations and storage facilities at Amiad, a kibbutz close to the Sea of Galilee, using drones. According to the IDF, a few of the drones had crashed nearby, but no one had been hurt.

Khalil al-Makdah of Fatah was murdered by an Israeli drone attack later on Wednesday when he was operating a 4×4 through the Villas neighborhood of Sidon, NNA reported.
He was later identified as “one of the leaders of the military council in the West Bank” by Fatah’s armed wing, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, whose Lebanese branch is led by his brother, Mounir.
According to Tawfiq Tirawy, a Ramallah-based member of Fatah’s Central Committee, Israel’s desire to start a full-scale conflict in the region is further demonstrated by the killing of a Fatah official, as reported by the AFP news agency.

Israeli government spokesperson David Mencer stated the IDF has “produced a comprehensive list of [Makdah’s] crimes” in response to questions over the remarks made during a briefing.
In a joint statement from the Israel Security Agency (ISA) and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), it was claimed that Khalil and Mounir al-Makdah were involved in the smuggling of weapons and funds intended for terrorist activities into the West Bank, as well as collaborating with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.
“In order to expose and impair Iranian attempts to carry out terrorist activity, the IDF and ISA will constantly continue to take action to monitor and thwart activity that endangers the safety of the State of Israel and its citizens,” they continued.
