A 27-year-old foreign worker from Thailand was killed following Hezbollah anti-tank missiles launched from Lebanon into northern Israel, hitting Kibbutz Yaraon in the Upper Galilee, MDA confirmed Friday morning.
In addition to the Thai foreign national killed, who worked as a tractor driver in the region, multiple others were reportedly wounded in the attack.
The missile was fired at an agricultural area, where MDA first responders pronounced him dead, the emergency medical service stated.
Second fatal rocket attack in two days
On Wednesday, two people were killed, and several were wounded to varying degrees following a barrage of rockets from Lebanon into northern Israel.
In that incident, the military reported that 20 launches were detected towards Kiryat Shmona alone.
The two killed were a couple, a man and a woman, both aged 40, Israeli media reported.
They sustained fatal wounds due to falling shrapnel while walking their dogs and did not have time to enter the protected area, Ynet reported.
Earlier this week, at least nine people were wounded following a rocket barrage toward Haifa, with injuries attributed to broken glass and other causes while running to protected areas.
Northern Israel has been pummeled by anti-tank missiles and at least two drones, with a drone also triggering red alerts in southern Israel near Ashkelon.
Between 8:30 and 8:31 a.m. in the Haifa Bay area, approximately 25 missiles were identified crossing into Israel.
