A Wednesday morning aerial strike on a vehicle in southern Lebanon has left two people dead, reports said.
Lebanon is attributing the attack to Israel, and has claimed that it was carried out by means of a UAV.
The victims of the attack have not yet been identified. However, according to Al Arabiya, Hamas terrorist Hadi Mustafa was killed in the explosion.
Early on Wednesday afternoon, the IDF said, "The IDF eliminated a significant Hamas terrorist in Lebanon who advanced terror attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets around the world"
"Earlier Wednesday, an aircraft in the area of Tyre struck Hadi Ali Mustafa, a significant operative in Hamas’ department responsible for its international terrorist activities. In his position, Hadi directed terrorist cells and activities in the field, and advanced terror attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets in various countries around the world. Hadi operated under the direction of Samir Fendi, one of Saleh al-Arouri’s associates who was killed together with him.
"The IDF and Israeli security forces will continue to operate against the Hamas terrorist organization in every arena in which it operates."
A short time after the strike was reported, Hezbollah launched a missile towards Israel, setting off sirens in Hanita, but the missile fell short and landed in Lebanese territory.
Earlier on Wednesday, two missiles landed in an open area in Israel's Golan.
