The Israel Defense Forces carried out a precision airstrike on November 18, 2025, targeting a Hamas training compound in the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp near Sidon, Lebanon. The strike, which occurred at night, was captured on video showing flames and smoke engulfing buildings in the densely populated urban area.
The IDF confirmed that at least four Hamas militants were killed in the operation, describing the strike as a carefully targeted measure to disrupt terrorist activity and prevent attacks on Israeli civilians. Lebanese health officials, however, reported a total of 13 deaths, including civilians, highlighting the frequent discrepancies in casualty assessments that accompany cross-border operations in conflict zones.
The airstrike underscores Israel’s ongoing commitment to neutralizing threats from terrorist groups operating near its borders while balancing the challenges of densely populated areas. It also reflects the heightened tensions in southern Lebanon, where militant activity has continued to pose security risks to both Israel and local communities.
