One Israeli was killed when Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists struck his vehicle in the Galilee Panhandle on Sunday morning, according to medical officials.

“Medics and paramedics report a man trapped in a vehicle with no signs of life,” the Magen David Adom emergency response group stated.

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that “fire from Lebanese territory toward a community on the northern border was identified.” It added, “There is damage and there are casualties.”

Hezbollah began firing rockets and suicide drones at Israel on March 2, in retaliation for the Jewish state’s targeted killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Khamenei was killed in the opening strikes of “Operation Roaring Lion/Epic Fury” against the regime on Feb. 28.

In response to the terrorist organization’s violation of the U.S.-brokered Nov. 27, 2024, truce agreement, Jerusalem launched an aerial campaign against Hezbollah and ordered IDF troops to advance and take control of additional areas in Southern Lebanon to halt cross-border attacks.

“We are determined to continue striking our enemies on all fronts,” added the Israeli premier.
