Meanwhile, an anti-tank missile directly hit a house in the northern border community of Metula Tuesday morning. There were no casualties, baruch Hashem. The IDF responded with fire toward the shooting sources and attacked targets in Lebanon.

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the launch, stating it was done “as part of the support for our people in the Gaza Strip and in response to Israel’s attack on homes in southern Lebanon.”

According to a report by Hezbollah’s channel Al-Manar, Israel attacked two empty houses in Kafr Kila in southern Lebanon.
