A Lebanese security source reported four people killed in an Israeli strike targeting a vehicle carrying Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists on the road between Beirut and Damascus in Lebanon's central Beqaa Valley, near the Syrian border, as stated in a post translated from Hebrew and shared at approximately 8:00 PM UTC on February 15, 2026. The strike hit the vehicle in an area known for smuggling activities from Syria to Lebanon, according to the Lebanese security source cited by @kaisos1987 on X. This development follows an earlier IDF confirmation of targeting Islamic Jihad terrorists in nearby Majdal Anjar, about 30 km from the Israeli border, as stated by IDF Spokesperson statements on X between 7:15 PM and 7:45 PM UTC on February 15. The IDF previously described the Majdal Anjar operation as striking terrorists in a smuggling hotspot but provided no casualty figures, per posts by @ItayBlumental and the official IDF channel. The new Lebanese report specifies four killed in the Beqaa Valley strike, distinguishing it as targeting a specific vehicle on the Beirut-Damascus road. These actions occurred over the past hour during the reporting window from 7:45 PM to 8:45 PM UTC, building on IDF operations earlier on February 15 that also eliminated two threatening operatives approaching troops in northern Gaza Strip, as confirmed by the military via @manniefabian.
