The vehicle was completely engulfed in flames following the strike, which occurred near a pharmacy and the Al-Taakhi Health Center, sparking panic among residents. Civil defense extinguished the fire, while security forces cordoned off the area.
Local media outlets reported that the victim is believed to be a Hezbollah member from the Borji family, originally from the neighboring town of Ramadiyah. However, Hezbollah had not issued an official statement.
On Tuesday, another drone strike targeted a motorcycle in the town of al-Mansouri in the Tyre district, injuring nine.
Since the ceasefire began in November 2024, Lebanon’s Health Ministry has documented more than 3,000 Israeli violations, resulting in 201 deaths and over 500 injuries.
