An anti-tank missile hit a church in northern Israel during an attack from Lebanon, the Israeli military said. A civilian was reportedly injured in the town of Ikrit.
According to media reports, the suspect is the approximately 80-year-old guardian of the holy place. Meanwhile, Hezbollah and the Israeli army fired at each other again on Tuesday in the border area between Israel and Lebanon.
The army blamed the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah for the attack on the church. The Iran-allied militia had previously said it had shelled military targets in Israel and scored “direct hits.” She also met Israeli soldiers at Shomera. The Greek Orthodox Church in Ikrit is located southwest of Shomera. Soldiers and paramedics are on site to provide medical assistance.
This church was hit by the rocket:
According to the Israeli army, the Har Dov region of the Golan Heights, also known as Sheeba Farms, was attacked from Lebanon. The army fired back. In the morning, a surface-to-air missile was fired from Lebanon at an Israeli aircraft, but it was not hit. Israeli fighter jets bombed Hezbollah positions. The information provided by both parties could not initially be independently verified. Nothing was known about possible victims.
Confrontations between Hezbollah and Israel
Since the start of the Gaza war following the Hamas massacre in Israel on October 7, there have been repeated clashes between the Israeli army and Hezbollah in the Israeli-Lebanese border area. There were deaths and injuries on both sides. It is the worst escalation since the second Lebanon war in 2006. It fuels fears of a new, bigger war between Israel and Hezbollah.
