Israel power company says worker killed by strike from Lebanon

An Israeli power company worker was killed by an anti-tank missile strike across the Lebanese border, his employer said Monday as tensions flared between Israel and the Iran-backed militia Hezbollah.

Shalom Abudi, 56, was killed on Sunday night “by Hezbollah fire during his work in the Dovev area” — just half a mile (800 meters) from the frontier with Lebanon — according to the Israel Electric Corporation.
