The Israel Defense Forces says it is investigating, after Lebanese reports said an Israeli airstrike on a vehicle in southern Lebanon killed four civilians.

“Earlier today, the IDF struck a vehicle in Lebanese territory that was identified as a suspicious vehicle containing several terrorists,” the IDF says in response to a query on the matter.

“The claim that there were several uninvolved civilians in the vehicle is being examined. The event is under review,” the IDF adds.
