A Lebanese security official told AFP that an Israeli strike on a Hezbollah van carrying munitions near Beirut killed the driver Wednesday, the latest death in more than a month of war.
"A van belonging to Hezbollah was targeted in an Israeli strike on the Kahaleh road and its driver killed," the official said, adding that the vehicle was carrying munitions.
The official requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
An AFP correspondent saw a vehicle on fire and said the Kahaleh road, which links Beirut to Damascus, had been blocked in both directions.
Lebanon's official National News Agency had earlier reported an "enemy drone strike" on a vehicle.
Last week, the NNA said an Israeli strike targeting a car on the same highway killed two people.
In August 2023, two people were killed in clashes between Hezbollah members and residents of the Christian town of Kahaleh, after a truck carrying munitions for the group overturned on the highway.
