Hezbollah says launched guided missile at Israeli tank near Lebanon border

Hezbollah said it targeted an Israeli army tank near a border village with a guided missile on Wednesday, as attacks escalated after Israel intensified bombing of the country last month.

Hezbollah fighters “targeted a Merkava tank near the village of Ramia… with a guided missile,” the Iran-backed group said in a statement, adding the attack was “in defense of Lebanon and its people.”
