Hezbollah launches missile attacks on Israeli tanks 

Jerusalem: Lebanon's military wing, Hezbollah, has reportedly carried out guided missile attacks on Israeli tanks near the border.

The attack targeted Israeli tanks stationed in the Hanita area of northern Israel.

While Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for the missile strikes, the extent of casualties and damage remains unclear.

Arab media sources have reported the missile attacks, but detailed information regarding the aftermath of the incident is still awaited.

The attack comes on the heels of a series of hostilities between the two sides, with the latest incident resulting in one Israeli casualty and three others injured.

This recent provocation follows another missile attack by Hezbollah on Israeli targets earlier, which resulted in the destruction of an intelligence station.

The attacks have heightened tensions in the region and are a cause for concern for international observers.

Israeli military officials have responded to the situation by confirming the missile attacks originating from Lebanon.

Reports indicate that the attacks were directed at the town of Metulla, situated on the border with Lebanon.

As a result, Metulla has been declared a military zone by Israel, further underlining the gravity of the situation.

Israel has taken additional measures to secure its northern border, declaring the evacuation of 28 villages within a 2-kilometer radius of its border with Lebanon.

A report was received regarding a shooting toward the town of Metula on the border with Lebanon. Details to follow.
