Two people were killed on Saturday in southern Lebanon in an Israeli airstrike that hit their vehicle on the Burj Al-Chamali road in the village of Al-Bazourieh.
The attack follows the death of several Iranian leaders in an Israeli raid that targeted a civilian building in a neighborhood in Damascus on Saturday morning.
Several passersby were also injured and transported to the village’s hospitals.
Security reports state that one of the victims was Ali Mohammed Hodroj from Al-Bazourieh.
According to media reports, he was a leader in the Palestine branch operating under the Quds Force in the east of Tyre in Lebanon.
He reportedly played the role of a liaison officer between the Quds Force and Hezbollah in the cooperation between Hamas and the Iranian axis in the areas of cyberwarfare and air defense.
Russian TV channel RT Arabic announced that its press staff survived the airstrike.
A security source in the south told Arab News that the incident is “an unprecedented escalatory strike in 105 days of ongoing hostilities on the southern front.”
He added: “Al-Bazourieh is 4 km from Tyre and is the hometown of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. The road where the car was targeted links Tyre to the border village of Bint Jbeil.”
Israeli drones had previously hit several targets in the Qlaileh valley, which is 7 km from Tyre.
However, Saturday’s airstrike is considered a deep incursion into inhabited areas, as it hit a well-trafficked road.
The source said that “Israel has a list of targets and doesn’t miss a chance to strike whenever possible.”
