[Regnum] Two Israeli soldiers and one civilian were injured when the Israeli city of Metula was shelled by anti-tank missiles from Lebanese territory. The press service of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported this on October 17.

“When anti-tank missiles fired from Lebanon, the city of Metula earlier today, two IDF reservists were wounded,” the report said.

It is clarified that the wounded were sent to a medical facility for assistance, and it is added that one civilian was also slightly injured.

As Regnum reported , earlier on October 17, the IDF press service reported that the Israeli military killed four militants who were trying to enter the country from Lebanon. According to the Israeli army, the group tried to plant an explosive device at the fences on the border with Lebanon.

Later in the day, Lebanese news agency Al Wataniya said that the Israeli army again used white phosphorus ammunition in shelling border areas in southern Lebanon. According to the source, there are casualties as a result of this.

On August 15, the Israel Defense Forces reported bombing Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon. As the IDF press service noted, such actions were taken after the shelling of Israeli settlements and military positions from Lebanese territory.
