A drone strike in southern Lebanon has killed the head of Hamas’ military operations in the country, Israel’s army said.

The strike in the port city of Sidon came on the eve of the deadline for Israel’s full withdrawal from southern Lebanon under the ceasefire agreement that ended the 14-month war between Israel and Hezbollah.
