Lebanon Security Official Says One Dead in Israel Strike on Munitions Van

A Lebanese security official told AFP that an Israeli strike on a van carrying munitions near Beirut killed the driver on Wednesday, the latest death in more than a month of Israel-Hezbollah war.

“A van was targeted in an Israeli strike on the Kahale road and its driver killed,” the official said, adding that the vehicle was carrying munitions. He requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.

Lebanese state media said the Kahale road, which links Beirut to Damascus, had been “blocked in both directions due to a ‘security incident’.”
