“Fatah Sharif Abu al-Amine, the leader of Hamas… in Lebanon and member of the movement’s leadership abroad” was killed in an air strike on his “home in the Al-Bass camp in south Lebanon”, a Hamas statement said.

The statement said he was killed with his wife, son and daughter-in-law.

During Israel’s cold-blooded campaign of assassination against leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah, knowing that dozens of those organizations’ members in Lebanon had been assassinated in the weeks prior, Sharif went home to his wife and children.

His wife, also knowing the threat the family faced, welcomed him home. She didn’t leave. Sharif didn’t send his family someplace safe. He didn’t hide. Sharif went home to his wife and children.
