IDF confirms Israeli driver killed by anti-tank guided missile

The Israel Defense Forces confirms that the 60-year-old man killed in a strike on his car north of the Gaza Strip was hit by an anti-tank guided missile fired from the coastal enclave.

Earlier, the Hamas terror group claimed responsibility for the attack, but the IDF said at the time it was still investigating the source of the blast.

Following the attack, the roads closest to the Gaza border were closed to traffic out of concerns of additional anti-tank missile attacks.
