The Israeli airstrike targeting Hamas terrorists and their allies in Lebanon killed Hadi Mustafa Wednesday morning while he was traveling in a vehicle near the Rashidieh camp, Lebanon’s second-largest Palestinian refugee camp. Mustafa was "significant in directing terror squads and promoting attacks against Israel," the Jerusalem Post reported.

Hamas has since confirmed Mustafa’s death, noting the organization lost a senior official of its Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades in Lebanon. A Syrian man who was on his motorcycle near Mustafa’s vehicle was reportedly also killed.
