The Hezbollah terror group claims responsibility for the anti-tank guided missile attack on an Israeli army post on the Lebanon border.
In a statement, Hezbollah says the attack was a response to the deaths of three members in Israeli strikes on Monday, which came in response to deadly clashes on the border.
Hezbollah claims it caused “a large number of confirmed casualties” in the missile attack.
The IDF says it is carrying out strikes in Lebanon in response, and does not immediately provide information on casualties.
Last night, Hezbollah carried out a separate ATGM attack against an unoccupied IDF armored vehicle on the Lebanon border.
