The Israel Defense Forces says another anti-tank guided missile was fired from Lebanon, at the northern town of Zar’it.
The attack marks at least the sixth missile fired today at towns and military posts on the northern border, apparently by the Lebanese Hezbollah terror group.
The military does not immediately provide information on casualties.
The IDF says it is responding with artillery shelling at the source of the missile fire in southern Lebanon.
