A non-commissioned officer was seriously wounded and two more soldiers were lightly hurt by a Hezbollah anti-tank missile attack in the Kiryat Shmona area this morning, the IDF announces.

The IDF says fighter jets carried out strikes on a building and other infrastructure used by Hezbollah in the south Lebanon town of Khiam, from which the projectiles were fired at Kiryat Shmona.

The IDF says projectiles were also fired from Lebanon at the Biranit base and Mount Hermon.

It says troops also shelled the launch sites with artillery.
