Israeli strike on car kills two people in Lebanon

At least two people were killed on Friday when an Israeli drone targeted their car in Lebanon's western Bekaa Valley, according to state media.

"The enemy targeted a car on the Maidoun-Sarira road," Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) said.

The Lebanese Shiite Hezbollah movement confirmed the attack, but said the identities of the two people who were killed "is still not known yet."

The Maidoun area is controlled by the pro-Iranian movement.

The Israeli army has so far not commented on the incident.

Since the beginning of the Gaza war, Lebanon's pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia has been firing rockets, artillery and anti-tank shells into northern Israel. Israel has responded with airstrikes and artillery fire.

According to the Israeli army, a civilian worker was killed in shelling from Lebanon late Thursday.

So far, around 280 Hezbollah fighters have been killed in the fighting in the border area. There have also been several deaths on the Israeli side since then. Civilians have also been killed on both sides.
