An Israeli strike in the southern Lebanese city of Sidon has killed a Fatah official on Wednesday, a senior member of the Palestinian group and a security source said, AFP reports.

It marked the first such reported attack on Fatah, the movement led by Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, in more than 10 months of cross-border clashes between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement.

“The Israeli strike in Sidon killed (Fatah) group official Khalil Makdah,” said Fathi Abu al-Aradat, a senior member of the group that rivals Gaza’s ruler Hamas.

A Lebanese security source confirmed the report to AFP, saying the strike hit his car.

An AFP correspondent at the site of the attack said a car was struck near the Palestinian camps of Ain al-Helweh and Mieh Mieh, adding rescuers had pulled a body from the charred vehicle.

Lebanon’s official National News Agency said Makdah was killed “in a drone strike on his car”.
