A commander from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group and his daughter were killed early Monday in an Israeli air strike targeting an apartment on the outskirts of Baalbek in eastern Lebanon, Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported.
The strike killed Wael Abdul Halim, identified by NNA as a commander in Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and his 17-year-old daughter Rama.
Rescue and ambulance teams continued operations at the scene to remove rubble and search for possible survivors, the agency said.
