Local reports suggest al-Maqdah has survived the Israeli assassination attempt, but his son Hasan was killed in the strike, which marks the first attack in the current fighting by Israel on what is the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon.

According to the latest figures from Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health, Israel has killed 1,745 people, injured 8,767, and displaced 1,000,000.
