Two residents of Siksakiya — Ahmad and Mahmoud Asili — were killed in an Israeli UAV strike on the village of Roummane in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese sources, as reported by Abu Ali Express. Their affiliation was not disclosed.
The Israeli drone strike near Kafr Rumman in southern Lebanon has been confirmed to have killed two civilians, identified as Ahmad Asili and Mahmoud Asili, both residents of Siksakiya. The Zioneer first reported the strike at 16:14 Jerusalem, initially citing Lebanese sources who reported a vehicle hit near Nabatieh with two fatalities. By 16:14, the target was identified as Ahmad Asili; at 16:14 the second victim was named as Mahmoud Asili, with the Abu Ali Express channel providing the identification. The affiliation of the two men has not been disclosed by available sources.
Earlier Wednesday afternoon, at 16:14 Jerusalem, The Zioneer tracked the development from initial reports of an airstrike on a vehicle in Nabatieh to the confirmation of two fatalities. The thread shows the progression: an unconfirmed report of two killed (version 1), then a Lebanese National News Agency report specifying the strike near Kafr Rumman (version 2), followed by identification of Ahmad Asili (version 3), and finally naming of Mahmoud Asili (version 4). The drone strike is part of a series of Israeli UAV operations in southern Lebanon this week, as previously reported by The Zioneer.
As context, The Zioneer reported on Sun Jun 7 that two IDF soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon, and on Thu Jun 18 that a Lebanese civilian was killed in a drone strike on Zboudine. A Lebanese Army soldier was killed in a UAV strike near Nabatieh on Sat Jun 20, and the Lebanese Army later confirmed one soldier killed in an IDF strike on that day. These incidents underscore ongoing Israeli operations in southern Lebanon.
The affiliation of the two Asili brothers remains unconfirmed. No group has claimed them as members, and their exact connection — if any — to Hezbollah or other armed factions has not been disclosed. The IDF has not commented on the strike.
