An Israeli airstrike on the Ain el-Hilweh camp in Lebanon killed 13 people.
The strike was purportedly aimed at a Hamas training compound, according to the Israeli military.
The attack is the deadliest since a ceasefire with Hezbollah a year ago.
Hamas condemned the airstrike, calling it a blatant attack on civilians.
The conflict is part of ongoing tensions and violence in the region involving Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah.

An Israeli airstrike on the Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon resulted in the deaths of at least 13 individuals and left several others injured, marking one of the deadliest attacks in the area since a ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war last year. The Israeli military stated that the target was a "Hamas training compound," alleging it was used to prepare for attacks against Israel, while local reports indicated that the strike hit a location used by civilians near a mosque and football pitch, stirring widespread condemnation from Palestinian factions, including Hamas, which described the claims as "pure fabrication" and emphasized that the struck area was a playground frequently utilized by local youth, according to aa, India Times, and Middle East Eye.
