The center said the raid also left multiple injuries, with victims transferred to nearby hospitals as rescue teams continued to search the area around the strike.
Among the martyrs were 3 kids of the Charara family, their father Chadi, while their mother and older sister were heavily wounded and are currently under intensive care.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that the drone hit the motorcycle in the town center. At the same time, Israeli forces fired flares over the skies of Aitaroun and launched additional flares between Yaroun and Maroun al-Ras, in a bid to ignite fires in the surrounding groves.

Lebanon’s health ministry said on Saturday that an Israeli strike killed one person in the country’s south, marking the latest deadly attack despite a ceasefire reached months ago.
According to the ministry, the strike targeted a vehicle on the al-Khardali road in the Marjayoun area. An AFP correspondent reported that first responders were seen at the scene next to the charred remains of a white vehicle.
“The Israeli enemy strike on a vehicle on the al-Khardali road killed one person,” the ministry said in a statement.
