The assassin, who was killed along with his wife, son, and daughter in an attack on their home, is described as a Hamas commander in Lebanon and a member of the organization's leadership abroad.
Abu al-Amin was a senior figure in the movement, who also served as chairman of the UNRWA Teachers' Association in Lebanon.
Hamas wrote that he stood out in his work in the field of education, being "a successful teacher and a respected administrator who trained generations of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon," without this preventing him from "building a generation that carries the just issue on its shoulders without retreating."
The Lebanese Teachers' Union also issued a statement following his assassination, writing that he "died a martyr in support of the just Palestinian cause for which he lived." The professional organization added: "We pledge to our heroic martyr that we will uphold the covenant and continue on his path."
The IDF spokesman officially announced this afternoon that in a joint operation by the IDF and Shin Bet, during the night the Air Force attacked, with intelligence guidance from Shin Bet, Military Intelligence and the Northern Command, the terrorist Fathi Sharif, head of the Lebanese arena of the Hamas terrorist organization.
"Sharif was responsible for coordinating Hamas' activities from Lebanon with Hezbollah elements, and was also responsible for the organization's efforts to strengthen itself in Lebanon in the field of recruiting activists and purchasing weapons."
"Sharif led the Hamas terrorist organization's power-building efforts in Lebanon and worked to advance Hamas' interests in the arena, both politically and militarily."
Lebanese media reported last night an explosion heard in the Al-Kula neighborhood of the capital Beirut.
