Israel says church struck by anti-tank missile from Lebanon
Tuesday, 26 December 2023 Israel's military said Tuesday an anti-tank missile fired from Lebanon had struck a church in northern Israel and injured a civilian in the latest cross-border attack amid the Gaza war. It said the missile hit the Greek Orthodox Church on a hilltop in Iqrit -- an abandoned Palestinian Christian village whose people were forced to leave during the 1948 war and creation of Israel. The army accused the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah of continued firing at Israeli "civilian and religious sites".
The IDF says nine soldiers were wounded, including one seriously in an anti-tank guided missile attack in the Shomera earlier in northern Israel, after arriving to evacuate a civilian wounded in an earlier Hezbollah attack against a church.
