Al Jazeera's correspondent reported - today, Saturday - that an explosion occurred in a car in the town of Jadra in the Iqlim al-Kharroub region in Mount Lebanon.
A security source told Al Jazeera that two people were killed and two others were injured in an Israeli bombing that targeted a car in the town of Jadra in the Iqlim al-Kharroub region, north of the Lebanese city of Sidon.
The Israeli army announced that it had carried out an exceptional attack in Sidon, targeting a senior official in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in Lebanon called Basil Saleh.
This is the first time that this area, which is about 60 kilometers from the Lebanese border, has been targeted.
Meanwhile, security sources confirmed to Reuters that a Palestinian figure close to the Hamas movement survived an Israeli attack on Saturday, about 60 kilometers inside Lebanese territory.

Anatolia Agency said that 4 people were killed and others wounded near the targeted car in the Kharoub region, according to eyewitnesses.
In early January, an Israeli raid targeted a meeting of Hamas leaders in the southern suburb of the capital, Beirut, which led to the martyrdom of Saleh Al-Arouri, deputy head of the movement’s political bureau, and a number of his companions.
In the wake of a devastating Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, since October 8, the Israeli-Lebanese border has witnessed an exchange of fire between the Israeli army on the one hand and Hezbollah and Palestinian factions on the other hand, which led to deaths and injuries on both sides of the border.
