The drone strike hit a car in the parking area of a mosque within the camp, located on the outskirts of the coastal city of Sidon.
At least four people were wounded in the attack, the ministry said, adding that “ambulances are still transporting more wounded to nearby hospitals.”
Israel said it struck members of the Palestinian armed group Hamas who were operating in a training compound in the refugee camp.
“When we say we will not tolerate any threat on our northern border, this means all terrorist groups operating in the region,” the Israeli military’s Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee said in a statement. “We will continue to act forcefully against Hamas’s attempts to establish a foothold in Lebanon and eliminate its elements that threaten our security.”
Hamas denied Israel’s claim, calling it a “fabrication” and stressing the group doesn’t have training facilities in Lebanon’s refugee camps.
Earlier on Tuesday, Lebanon said Israeli strikes on cars elsewhere in the country’s south killed two people.
