The Israeli occupation military claimed responsibility for the attack, with its Arabic spokesperson stating that the IOF targeted what it described as a "saboteur" allegedly involved in "weapons smuggling and planning operations" on behalf of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps - Quds Force.

Reports indicate that at least four people were wounded and one person was martyred in the drone strike.
Repeat attacks on Lebanon
This comes days after two Lebanese citizens were killed on Saturday after an Israeli drone strike targeted a motorcycle in the town of Mahrouna, located in southern Lebanon.
Two others were injured in the attack, as a passing vehicle was caught in the blast, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
Earlier today, another individual was martyred in a separate drone strike launched by an Israeli unmanned aircraft.
This attack targeted a car in the town of Kounine, also in the southern part of the country.
