An Israeli civilian died when his vehicle was struck by a Hezbollah anti-tank missile near the northern border community of kibbutz Misgav Am, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
First responders extracted the victim from his burning car and declared him dead on site. No warning alarms sounded before the missile hit the area.
Emergency teams received reports of a second vehicle catching fire in the vicinity shortly after the initial attack.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, Hezbollah launched the missiles from across the northern border. A military spokesperson stated, “There is damage and casualties. The incident is under review.”
The missile barrage also directly struck two residential buildings within the kibbutz. However, no injuries occurred among residents who had taken shelter in protected rooms.
Law enforcement officials reported that northern district police, Border Police units, and explosive ordnance disposal teams responded after receiving reports of munitions hitting a vehicle near the Galilee Panhandle border region. Officers cordoned off the area and initiated response procedures working alongside emergency medical services.
Officials released a public advisory warning residents to stay away from impact areas. Police emphasized that civilians should not approach strike locations or touch debris, including fragments from intercepted projectiles, due to continued hazards at the scene.
Emergency personnel remained active in the region, concentrating on rescue operations and making impacted areas secure.
