Two people were killed in an Israeli strike on a vehicle in southern Lebanon, according to the health ministry, with a Lebanese security source saying the car belonged to a UN-contracted company, AFP reports.
“The Israeli enemy’s strike targeting a car in Naqura left two dead,” the health ministry said, without specifying whether they were civilians.
A security source, speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, said the car “belonged to a cleaning company under contract with the United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon (UNIFIL)”, deployed along the border with Israel.
The two victims were “an employee of this company and his cousin, both from Naqura”, a town along Lebanon’s border with Israel, according to the source. “The cousin, who lives in an African country, arrived in Lebanon two days ago,” the source added.
Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television channel reported that the two dead in Naqura were civilians, while Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported a drone strike on the Naqura road, without giving further details.
