Farmer Killed by Anti-Tank Missile in Galilee, IDF Strikes Back

A farmer in the settlement of Matat in the Upper Galilee, near the Lebanese border, was seriously wounded by an anti-tank missile fired at his vehicle today (Thursday). Shortly after MDA teams arrived, finding him without signs of life and declaring him deceased.

MDA emergency medicine medic Ido Akiva said “the wounded man was brought to us by a military medical force when he was unconscious and suffering from a wound in his upper body. We conducted medical tests. He was without signs of life and we had nothing left but to determine his death.”

This is the 11th Israeli fatality in the northern sector since the beginning of the war, with 7 soldiers and 4 civilians having been killed by Hezbollah since October 7.

In addition, a number of launches were identified from Lebanese territory into Israel. The IDF responded by striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon with attack helicopters, tanks, and artillery fire.
