Throughout yesterday, several anti-tank missile launches were identified from Lebanon towards the area of Adamit in western Galilee, northern Israel, and an IDF soldier was moderately wounded and four other soldiers were lightly injured, said a statement released by the IDF, last night.

Israeli media later reported that an Israeli civilian was killed as a result of an anti-tank missile hitting Adamit.
