An Israeli civilian was killed in an anti-tank guided missile attack launched from Lebanon at an area near the northern community of Yiftah earlier today, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee, says.

The Hezbollah terror group claimed responsibility for the missile fire, claiming it attacked a group of soldiers.

Adraee says in a post on X that “Hezbollah continued to attack Israeli military sites and civilian towns, without distinguishing between civilians and military personnel.”

“One of the attacks resulted in the death of an Israeli citizen,” he adds.
