Israel’s ambulance service Magen David Adom (MDA) says a 27-year-old Thai national has been killed after an anti-tank missile was fired at a kibbutz on the border between northern Israel and southern Lebanon.
Local media is reporting that a second individual was seriously injured at Kibbutz Yi’ron and has been airlifted to hospital.
Regular rocket attacks from Iranian backed militants Hezbollah has led to tens of thousands of people being displaced from areas near the border with southern Lebanon.
But some have stayed behind to look after livestock and crops, while others travel in to work.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) has in recent days been active in the part of southern Lebanon that borders Kibbutz Yi’ron.
This sort of attack is what the IDF say their incursions are aimed at preventing.
