According to two security sources, a Syrian man who was passing by on his motorcycle was also killed in the strike, after earlier saying that the two fatalities had been in Mustafa's car.
All three sources told the news agency that the drone, which they identified as Israeli, hovered in the air above the site of the strike for several minutes before it struck.

Israeli forces kill three Palestinians in West Bank
Israeli forces shot dead three Palestinians in two separate incidents in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday. As per reports, a total of six Palestinians were killed within hours in the Palestinian territory.
Yousef Nimer, who witnessed an overnight raid on the West Bank city of Jenin, alleged that Israeli forces fired at people he was sitting with outside a hospital as they finished Suhur, the last meal before sunrise during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
"I told them, look, there is something coming towards us. We ran away, then a sniper started to shoot at us," said 16-year-old Nimer as quoted by Reuters. He was wounded and pointed to a hole in one of the hospital's walls which he said had been made by a bullet.
"Some crawled and some ran away. The people who ran away got injured and those who crawled were saved," he added.
