The Israeli military announced that its recent strike on the Ain al-Helweh Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon killed 13 alleged Hamas operatives, including trainer Jihad Saidawi. Hamas disputes these claims, stating the victims were civilians on a sports field. The strike occurs despite a November ceasefire agreement intended to halt hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah in the region.
