An Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle has struck a car carrying members of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement on the Syrian side of the border with Lebanon, but there have been no reports of casualties.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that the aircraft targeted the SUV near al-Haidari Stores in Jdeidat Yabous village, which is situated 45 kilometers west of the Syrian capital Damascus and across from Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, on Wednesday.
The report added that the airstrike damaged the car but did not result in any casualties.
An unnamed Lebanese security source told Lebanon’s English-language The Daily Star newspaper that the Israeli drone’s initial attempt to destroy the car failed, allowing the vehicle to stop by the side of the road and its four passengers to escape before a second rocket hit and destroyed it.
Some media reports, meanwhile, said the strike sought to assassinate a Hezbollah commander.
