"The Israeli enemy strike that targeted a vehicle on the Jarmak-Khardali road led to a preliminary toll of two dead and another wounded," Lebanon's health ministry said in a statement.
The area is located around 10 kilometres (six miles) from the Israeli border.
The state-run National News Agency reported that a strike carried out by a hostile drone on a car travelling along the Kafr Rumman–Jarmaq highway resulted in the death of engineers Ahmad Saad and Mustafa Rizq, both from the town of Kafr Rumman. The two were on a mission with the company Meamar to inspect damage caused by earlier attacks on nearby towns.
In September 2020, the US Treasury sanctioned Meamar Construction "for being owned, controlled, or directed by" Hezbollah.
An AFP correspondent saw the skeletal charred wreckage of the car as emergency and security personnel attended the site.
Israel has been carrying out near-daily strikes on Lebanon, despite a November truce aimed at ending over a year of hostilities, including two months of open war with the Lebanese group.
Israel has also kept troops in five areas of southern Lebanon that it deems strategic.
On Monday, Lebanon's health ministry reported that one person was killed in an Israeli strike on an excavator in the eastern Bekaa Valley.
The United Nations said Wednesday that it had verified the deaths of 103 civilians in Lebanon since the ceasefire.
