An Israeli man has been killed in a Hezbollah-claimed anti-tank missile attack against a community in northern Israel.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service says the man in his 40s was declared dead at the scene in Kfar Yuval, close to the Lebanese border.

Another woman in her 70s is seriously wounded, and a man aged 74 is treated for acute anxiety, MDA adds.

The IDF says it carried out strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon in response to attacks carried out by the terror group on northern Israel.

It says the sites hit by fighter jets included a command center, a military target, and other infrastructure belonging to the terror group.

The IDF says several rockets were fired by Hezbollah today at Misgav Am and Goren, which all landed in open areas.

In addition to the attack on Yuval, the IDF says anti-tank missiles were also fired by Hezbollah at the communities of Zar’it and Shomera.
