Hussein Deeb was reportedly the target of an Israeli drone strike that occurred near the southern Lebanese town of Burj Rahal between 6:45 AM and 9:45 AM UTC on November 5th, 2025. A social media post from user @MarioLeb79 stated, "Mikholit ? First missed by inches," and identified Hussein Deeb as the intended target. The drone strike, which targeted a car, was reported by Lebanese media but has not been immediately commented on by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). This incident follows earlier reports this morning that the United States rejected a Lebanese proposal for negotiations with Israel and instead put forward its own proposal. American envoy Tom Brack reportedly offered to lead meetings in a Lebanese-chosen capital, according to Lebanese newspaper al-Akhbar. Reports from this morning also indicated that the US and Israel are aiming to secure an agreement with Lebanon and Syria to resolve the border crisis on Israel's northern front. Al-Akhbar had previously reported that the US and Israel suggested potential Lebanese representatives for these talks, with at least two individuals reportedly declining interest. The speaker of the Lebanese parliament, Nabih Berri, suggested sending a civilian or technical expert specializing in border matters, accompanied by a military team. An official X account, identified as [@khamenei_ir](https://twitter.com/khamenei_ir), shared a photograph earlier this morning, November 5th, 2025, featuring individuals described as Qaani and Sabri, recalling past interactions. The post stated that the individuals were initially shy but later became more comfortable, and that in subsequent meetings, one of the individuals "drank well and not just tea."
