Hi,
Anti-tank missiles were shot yesterday from Lebanon (meaning Hezbollah) to a church compound in the Christian village of Iqrit.
The village is empty nowadays, only the church functions (and the only building left of the village), while the residents of the village of Iqrit now lives in Rameh, Haifa or Tarshiha (this is an issue for another post).
The first missile was shot on the shed near the church, injuring an 80 yeas old, who came to the place to pray for Christmas. The second anti-tank missile hit the medic soldiers who came to the help of the old guy. In total one citizen and 9 soldiers were injured in this attack.
IDF forces had recognized the building which the attacker fled to, and attack it. I think it is now clear Hezbollah wish to hit Israeli citizens even if those are innocent Christian citizens, only came to pray.
Two more anti-tank missiles were shot along the Lebanon border at Israel. One was shot at Moshav Shomera , and the other at Moshav Dovev . Those settlements, as the rest of the Israeli settlements along the Lebanon border are new empty, for this purpose: to avoid death and injuries of citizens from Hezbollah attacks (and avoid opening another front in the north).
The terrorist who had shot the missile at Dovev, had fled to the mosque which located in the middle of the village of Yaroun. Just like Hamas, and other terrorists, they are using the holy places for fighting and hiding ammunition and weapons.
The war in Gaza does not stop, and every morning, you open your Whatsapp and see the daily 6:00 IDF speaker announcement on the death of more soldiers.
The attacks from Houthis do not stop. US had announced it had interpicated 12 UAV launched from Yemen yesterday. I do not know if they were aimed at Eilat, or on the ships cruising the Red Sea.
Take Care
