A funeral was held in Beirut for two terrorists from Hamas’ military wing — Ibrahim al-Khalili and Hudhaifa al-Ghanaima — who were killed in clashes with the Israel Defense Forces in southern Lebanon.
The event highlights the growing presence of Hamas fighters operating alongside Hezbollah in the fighting along Israel’s northern front.
Reports also indicate that operatives from additional Iran-backed groups are involved in the clashes. A photo published earlier showed a member of Popular Mobilization Forces (al-Hashd al-Shaabi) who was killed during combat in southern Lebanon.
The developments point to an expanding multi-front battlefield, with several Iranian-aligned militias now participating directly in hostilities against Israel from Lebanese territory.
