Some media outlets reported that the targeted car on the main Naqoura road belonged to a service-providing company contracted by UNIFIL.
Preliminary reports suggest that the victims are civilians: the first, an employee of the above mentioned company and the second, his cousin, a recently returned Lebanese expatriate.
Additionally, Lebanese media reported that a truck driver survived after his vehicle was hit by Israeli gunfire while on the border road between Kfar Kila and Odaisseh. The bullets struck one of the doors and the tires. Upon reaching Taybeh, members of the Civil Defense in the “Islamic Health Authority” assisted him in replacing the damaged tires.
In response, Hezbollah claimed attacks on two buildings used by Israeli soldiers in the Avivim and Manara settlements.
Around midnight on Sunday, Israeli warplanes launched two missiles on Yaroun, near the city of Bint Jbeil and the town of Maroun al-Ras, followed a few minutes later by an airstrike on the town of Hanine in the Bint Jbeil district. Overnight, the Israeli Air Force also struck Hezbollah military structures in the areas of Yaroun, Aita Al-Shaab, Hanine, Tayr Harfa, and Blida in southern Lebanon, according to the Israeli army.
Around 12:30 AM, two missiles were fired at a house near the public square in Tayr Harfa.
