A Lebanese security source says one person was killed by an Israeli strike on a road where a Hezbollah van carrying munitions was hit the previous day.
The drone strike hit the Araya-Kahhale road which links the capital Beirut to Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa Valley, says the source, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
It targeted a Mercedes vehicle, killing the driver, the source says, without identifying the victim.
The official National News Agency says a “hostile drone” targeted the car on the key road that passes through the town of Araya.
