DUBAI: An Israeli drone strike on a car outside the southern Lebanese city of Tyre on Wednesday killed a member of Hamas from the nearby Palestinian camp of Rashidieh, a source from the faction told Reuters.

The source identified the member as Hadi Mustafa but said he was not a senior figure.
All three sources said the drone, which they identified as Israeli, hovered in the air above the site of the strike for several minutes after it was carried out.

The official National News Agency reported that at least one person was killed and three others wounded in the Israeli strike.

An AFP photographer saw rescue workers collecting human remains and the mangled wreck of a car engulfed by flames near the Palestinian refugee camp of Rashidiyeh, close to the coastal city of Tyre.
Hamas, the Palestinian faction which carried out a deadly incursion into southern Israel from the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, also has a political and military presence in Lebanon, largely based out of camps where Palestinian refugees have lived for decades.
Lebanese armed group Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel in October in support of Hamas. Since then, Israel has been carrying out strikes in Lebanon, mostly confined to the border region but increasingly spreading further north and east.
On Tuesday, Israeli strikes on eastern Lebanon killed two Hezbollah members, after a strike in the same region deep inside the country on Monday killed one person.
Hezbollah early Tuesday said it launched “more than 100 Katyusha rockets” at two military bases in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights “in response to Israeli attacks... most recently near the city of Baalbek,” a bastion of the group in the east.
Since hostilities began, at least 320 people, mainly Hezbollah fighters but also 54 civilians, have been killed in Lebanon, according to an AFP tally.
In Israel, at least 10 soldiers and seven civilians have been killed in the cross-border hostilities.
