6 civilians wounded, 1 critically, in anti-tank missile attack from Lebanon

At least six civilians were wounded, one critically and five seriously, in an anti-tank guided missile attack from Lebanon on Sunday, the military and medics said.

The missile struck a number of vehicles near the northern community of Dovev, close to the border. Some of the victims were Israel Electric Corporation employees who had arrived to repair power lines damaged by previous fire from Lebanon.

The Magen David Adom emergency service said one of the civilians injured in the attack was in critical condition.

Three to five other people were in serious condition, MDA director general Eli Bin told Hebrew-language media.

The wounded were being transported by the Israel Defense Forces from the scene of the attack to a safer area where they could be treated by paramedics. READ MORE
