An Israeli strike on a car in southern Lebanon has killed one person, Lebanese state media said, as the Gaza conflict stokes tensions between Israel and Hamas ally Hezbollah, AFP reports.

“The strike that targeted a car in Kafra killed one person while others suffered moderate and minor injuries,” Lebanon’s official National News Agency said. Kafra is a village not far from the Israeli border.

The strike was carried out by an Israeli drone close to an army checkpoint, destroying a four-wheel drive vehicle and setting another vehicle on fire, NNA said.

A security source told AFP that no Lebanese soldiers had been injured or killed in the strike.
