The IDF confirms carrying out an airstrike near the coastal Lebanese city of Sidon earlier today, killing Fatah official Khalil Makdah.

Khalil is the brother of senior Fatah official Munir Makdah, who has been accused by Israel for years of working with Hezbollah and the IRGC to advance attacks on Israel.

In a joint statement, the IDF and Shin Bet say that the Makdah brothers have been working out of Lebanon with the IRGC to transfer money and weapons to terror cells in the West Bank.
