An Israeli man was killed overnight on Thursday in a Hezbollah anti-tank missile attack on the Mount Dov region near the border with Lebanon.
He was named as Sharif Suad from the Arab village of Ras al-Ein in the Galilee in northern Israel.
Suad was a military contractor conducting “infrastructure activity” when he was struck.
In response, the Israel Defense Forces shelled Hezbollah terror sites in Chebaa, Kfarchouba and Ein el-Tineh.
Among the targets hit were a weapons depot and a missile launch site. IDF forces also opened fire “to remove a threat” from Southern Lebanon.
