An Israeli strike in Lebanon's Beddawi refugee camp killed Hamas commander Saeed Attallah Ali, his wife, and two daughters.
This incident marks the first time the Beddawi camp, located in north Lebanon near Tripoli, has been targeted since the Gaza war erupted.
The strike is part of Israel's ongoing campaign targeting Hamas officials in Lebanon, following several previous attacks on commanders in other regions like south Lebanon and Beirut.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Today 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
