Israeli drone hit a car in southern Lebanon, 2 killed

An Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in southern Lebanon on Wednesday morning resulted in the deaths of two people and injuries to others. The vehicle was targeted and set on fire. 

"Initial information indicates that a Palestinian man was killed inside the car that was hit by a hostile drone on Al-Hosh road in Tyre," the official Lebanese News Agency stated. 

"In addition to two unidentified injured people, another man of Syrian nationality was also killed as he was passing by on a motorcycle at the time of the attack," the statement continued. 

Previous reports from Lebanese media stated that "ambulance teams managed to recover a body from inside the car" following an Israeli attack that targeted a tourist vehicle at Tyre's Al-Hosh Junction. 

Meanwhile, Israeli army launched two airstrikes on Al-Labouneh and Muruj Al-Humaid area in Alma Al-Shaab, accompanied by artillery shelling in the area. 

Palestinian sources reported that the killed was identified as Hadi Mustafa from the Rashidiya camp in Lebanon, noting that he is a member of Hamas. 

For his part, Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdullah Bouhabib said that the government will file a complaint against Israel at the UN Security Council for targeting civilians in the vicinity of the city of Baalbek. 

The Lebanese Foreign Ministry said that the escalation in areas far from the southern border indicates Israel’s desire to expand the conflict and drag the region into war. 

The Ministry called on the international community to put pressure on Israel to halt its ongoing and escalating attacks. 

Since October 8, hundreds of Lebanese have been killed in Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon, amid a state of escalating tension in the border area, following the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and the region.
