Israeli forces have bombed a vehicle near Lebanon's border with Syria, killing at least four people, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.
The Israeli airstrike occurred early Monday morning, she said in a statement, the Telegraph reports.
Lebanon's state news agency said one of the victims was a Syrian national named Khaled Mohammad al-Ahmad.
The Israeli military confirmed the airstrike, claiming in a post on X that it targeted members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in Lebanon. It did not provide evidence for its claim.
The Israeli military said the raid took place in the Majdal Anjar area of Lebanon.
PIJ is an armed group in the occupied Palestinian territory, fighting alongside Hamas in Gaza for the creation of a Palestinian state.
It is also an ally of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, which launched attacks in northern Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians after Israel's war in Gaza began in 2023.
Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire in November 2024, but the Israeli military has continued to carry out almost daily attacks in Lebanon, violating the ceasefire brokered by the United States.
According to the United Nations, the Israeli military launched more than 10,000 air and ground strikes in the year since it agreed to cease hostilities.
The UN human rights office said in November last year that it had verified at least 108 civilian casualties from Israeli attacks since the ceasefire, including at least 21 women and 16 children.
At least 11 Lebanese civilians were also abducted by Israeli forces during that time period, the office said.
Lebanon filed a complaint with the UN last month over repeated Israeli violations, urging the UN Security Council to pressure Israel to cease its attacks and withdraw completely from the country.
The lawsuit alleged that Israel violated Lebanon's sovereignty at least 2,036 times in the last three months of 2025 alone.
Israel also continues to occupy five areas in Lebanese territory, blocking the reconstruction of destroyed border villages and preventing tens of thousands of displaced people from returning to their homes. /Telegraph
