An Israeli drone fired two air-to-surface missiles at a Cherokee SUV in Khayara, killing Ayman Hashem Ghazme, a field leader of the Islamic group who was driving the car, the source said on condition of anonymity.
The source said Civil Defense members had extinguished the fire in the car and worked with the Lebanese Red Cross to transport the body to a hospital in the Bekaa region, Xinhua news agency reported.
Tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border escalated on October 8, 2023, after rockets were fired toward Israel by the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah in a show of solidarity with Hamas' attack on Israel the day before. Israel then responded by firing heavy artillery toward southeastern Lebanon.
