A morning raid on a car on the Sahel Alma highway in Jounieh left two dead. The car, a CRV, was registered under the name of Khadijeh Ahmad Ghazal, from Bourj Chemali in Tyre.
A drone launched the first missile at the vehicle, which was heading toward Beirut. The two passengers managed to escape the initial strike, abandoning the car by the roadside and running into an open field before being hit by a second missile. The identities of the victims remain unclear.
Residents in the area heard three explosions shortly before 9:30 AM. Initially, conflicting reports circulated regarding the cause of the blasts. Some suggested they were from gas canisters at a local bakery, which had its windows blown out, before the Ministry of Health confirmed the raid targeted the vehicle.
Moreover, in the latest field development, an Israeli drone strike on Saturday morning targeted a residential apartment in the Qattaya building in Chtaura, killing Ahmad Abu Zaid from Hazarta and injuring his wife and son.
