Al Jazeera reports that two journalists from the Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar went to the site of an earlier Israeli drone strike on a car that reportedly killed two civilians in the town of at-Tiri.

Amal Khalil and Zeinab Faraj went to the attack to report on it, and while they were there, there were further Israeli attacks on that town.

Al Jazeera reports that there has been an ongoing effort for several hours by the Red Cross and rescue workers to reach those two journalists. They have been unable to do that because of continued Israeli attacks in the area, including one that hit a road and severed at-Tiri from the surrounding area.
