An Israeli drone fired two missiles at a vehicle near the Syria-Lebanon border carrying a pair of Hezbollah members on Wednesday, according to a Hezbollah official. Neither of the Hezbollah members was wounded in the attack, the official said.

Speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity, the official said that one of the missiles detonated near the vehicle while the second hit after the driver abandoned it.

Syrian state media also reported the attack, claiming that it targeted a civilian vehicle and only caused material damage. Israel did not comment.

Reports of the attack come a week after the Israel Defense Forces released a video showing what it said were Syrian officers and Hezbollah members working together on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.
