Lebanese sources said Monday that the three people killed in a strike on a jeep in the southern Lebanese town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa were an engineer, his wife who served as a school principal, and a foreign worker. The victims were identified as civilians, according to the reports.
Lebanese sources on Monday afternoon identified the three people killed in the earlier drone strike on a jeep in Nabatieh al-Fawqa as an engineer, his wife, and a foreign worker, describing them as civilians. The identification follows the strike earlier today in the southern Lebanese town.
The first reports of a strike in the Nabatieh area emerged at 12:34 Jerusalem, initially citing a single Lebanese report with no details on casualties or the target. Within minutes, multiple Lebanese outlets reported a drone strike on a vehicle, and unofficial sources attributed the attack to Israel. The death toll was confirmed as three, and the location was specified as the village of Nabatieh al-Fawqa. The sole Israeli report of the strike, from N12, described it as an IDF operation, but the military has not commented.
As The Zioneer reported, the initial reports were unverified and single-sourced, with corroboration building over the course of the hour. The strike's attribution to Israel remains based on unofficial Lebanese sources.
The identities of the victims as civilians, and the specific details of their professions, have not been independently confirmed. The IDF has not issued a statement. The target of the strike and the circumstances that led to the attack remain unclear.
