An anti-tank missile was fired at the northern Israeli moshav Shtula, near the Lebanese border, the IDF said.
Hezbollah took responsibility for the launch. IDF said artillery forces targeted the source of the fire.
The IDF was also striking targets in southern Lebanon after another anti-tank missile was fired at an Israeli military position in the North, it said.
At least four civilians were reportedly wounded in the incident, with one man in his 40s murdered following failed resuscitation attempts, Magen David Adom said. MDA added it rushed the other wounded civilians to the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya for further treatment.
Two more men in their 40s are considered in moderate condition, MDA added.
Israel creates security zone near Lebanon border
The IDF on Sunday created a four-kilometer security zone in northern Israel to keep any civilians who do not live in the area out until further notice.
It said this was necessary after the continued firing of rockets, attempted invasions, and other tension on the northern border.
Further, the IDF said that those within two kilometers of the border should remain in bomb shelters and safe rooms.
Residents of the northern moshav were told to seek shelter immediately. Later, the Kiryat Shmona municipality also told the border city’s residents to seek shelter following exchanges of fire on the border
Residents of the nearby kibbutzim of Yiftach, Menara, Maayan Baruch, Misgav Am, Yeron, Bar’am, Tzivon, Dan, Daphna, Snir and Kfar HaGiladi were all told to seek shelter later on Sunday morning.
This is a developing story.
