Hezbollah fired an anti-tank missile from Lebanon at a church in northern Israel, wounding a civilian.

In a statement, Hezbollah claims to have targeted an IDF position near the northern community of Shomera.

But the target was actually a church in the nearby depopulated Palestinian Christian village of Iqrit, according to initial reports.

A civilian man in his 80s guarding the church is reportedly moderately wounded in the attack.

Another missile was fired at the area as troops and medical services worked to evacuate the wounded man.
