An anti-tank guided missile was launched at an Israeli tank operating on the Lebanon border, close to the northern community of Avivim, the military says.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, there are no injuries in the attack.
Many IDF tanks are equipped with the TROPHY active defense system, which can protect against missile attacks.
The IDF adds that it is responding with artillery shelling at the source of the missile fire.
The Hezbollah terror group has launched dozens of missiles at IDF positions and Israeli towns in northern Israel since the war in the Gaza Strip began on October 7.
