The Israel Defense Forces says an officer was killed in one of the anti-tank guided missile attacks from Lebanon yesterday, against the Nurit post.
A civilian was killed in a separate missile attack against the town of Shtula.
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attacks.
The IDF says it has carried out airstrikes against Hezbollah sites in response to the attack.
The soldier’s death was gagged until the family could be notified, which is standard procedure.
