In a significant escalation, the Israeli military has executed a targeted strike on a key Hamas figure near the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli, marking the first such action in the area in several months.

Officials have not disclosed the identity of the individual targeted in the strike that resulted in two deaths and three injuries. The Lebanese state media reported a car was hit near Tripoli, but Hamas has yet to provide any official comments.

This incident underscores the ongoing tensions between Israel and various Palestinian and Lebanese militant groups, despite last year's U.S.-brokered ceasefire. Meanwhile, U.S. envoy Thomas Barrack is in Lebanon discussing the disarmament of Hezbollah and other armed factions.
