Lebanon's official National News Agency, confirming a report by the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Manar outlet, says one person was killed in a strike by an Israeli UAV on a vehicle in the village of Tibnine in southern Lebanon. The target's affiliation has not been disclosed.
Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) has confirmed a Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Manar report that an Israeli UAV strike on a vehicle in the village of Tibnine (Tbnit), southern Lebanon, killed one person. The strike occurred at the village square, according to Al-Manar. The NNA confirmation, published at Mon 18:46 Jerusalem, brings the total corroborating sources to two. The target's affiliation remains undisclosed.
The first report of a fatality in an IDF strike on a vehicle in southern Lebanon emerged at Mon 17:27 Jerusalem via N12 (Asaf Rozentzweig), citing unspecified Lebanese media. Minutes later, at the same timestamp, an i24NEWS report (Amichai Stein) identified the strike as a drone attack and described it as the first such strike since the ceasefire. Subsequently, Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Manar specified the location as Tbnit square, killing the driver. The NNA confirmation followed shortly after. The source quality has thus evolved from a single, unnamed Lebanese media report to two named outlets (i24NEWS, N12) and two separate Lebanese sources (Al-Manar, NNA).
As The Zioneer reported on Sat Jun 13, an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in the village of Ma'raka, east of Tyre, also killed one person. A separate drone strike in Wadi al-Masila on Sun Jun 14 left one dead and one wounded. Monday's strike in Tibnine fits this pattern of Israeli drone operations against vehicles in southern Lebanon this week.
The affiliation of the person killed in Monday's strike — whether a Hezbollah operative, a member of another armed faction, or a civilian — has not been disclosed by any reporting source. The IDF has not issued a comment on this specific strike.
