Lebanon says one killed in Israeli strike on refugee camp

The strike targeted a Hamas command centre amid ongoing Israeli military actions in Lebanon despite a 2024 ceasefire, killing one and injuring several, state media said.

  • On February 20, 2026, Lebanon reported an Israeli drone hit a neighbourhood of Ain al-Helweh camp near Sidon, killing one person, with the Israeli army saying it struck a Hamas command centre.
  • A previous raid on Ain al-Helweh last November killed people, and the UN rights office reported child deaths in that strike, despite the ceasefire.
  • Anadolu Agency said three missiles were used and other outlets reported artillery fire, Lebanon Debate posted footage of the aftermath, and Al Mayadeen said Israeli drones remained active, including one drone-bombing a man in his car.
  • Recent strikes have coincided with other deadly incidents, including a Sunday strike near the Syrian border that Lebanon said killed four and threats plus a killing in Tallouseh, southern Lebanon.
  • Hamas issued demands saying `Any political process or any arrangement under discussion concerning the Gaza Strip and the future of our Palestinian people must start with the total halt of aggression`, while October 2023 exchanges triggered two months of all-out war in Lebanon.
