One person was reportedly killed in an Israeli drone strike in the southern Lebanese city of Sidon just before dawn.

Security officials at the scene tell The Associated Press that the man was a member of the Hamas terror group.

The country’s state-run National News Agency says an “enemy drone” hit a car in the city’s Villas neighborhood, near the Imam Ali Mosque.

Pictures shared online show a Renault on fire.

There is no Israeli comment on the alleged strike.
