An Israeli air strike hit a pickup truck travelling in northeast Lebanon late yesterday, two security sources told Reuters, with one of the sources saying it carried military equipment.
The two sources said the strike hit a pickup near Chaat, a remote area of Lebanon near the Syrian border, but that the driver survived.
One of the sources said it was likely the military equipment being transported was a damaged rocket launcher on the way to be repaired.
"The Israeli air force targeted two Hezbollah lorries" some 10 kilometres from Baalbek, a stronghold of the Iran-backed militant group in eastern Lebanon, the Lebanese security source told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"One of the vehicles was hit and a series of explosions were heard in the area."
One person was wounded in the strike, the health ministry said.
Local Syrian official Abdo Al-Taqi told a Syrian radio station that a car was targeted on the road between the Syrian capital Damascus and Lebanon’s capital Beirut, and four people were killed.
A source close to Hezbollah confirmed the hit and said "the munitions which were inside the lorry caught fire".
