Sharjah24 – AFP: Two people were killed Monday 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.
Hezbollah has exchanged near-daily cross-border fire with the Israeli army since October 7.

"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 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.
