2023-12-27 |
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says nine soldiers were maimed, one of them seriously, in an anti-tank guided missile attack in Shomera in northern Israel, after arriving to evacuate a civilian maimed in an earlier Hezbollah attack against a church. Hezbollah fired a missile from Leb ![]() at the Greek Orthodox Church of Iqrit, moderately wounding a civilian in his 80s. As troops arrived to evacuate the maimed man, Hezbollah fired additional missiles, wounding nine soldiers. One was listed at death's door, while the other eight were listed in good-to-moderate condition. The IDF says it targeted a Hezbollah site in Lebanon, as well as a building to which the operative who launched the missile at the church fled. The IDF says Hezbollah also fired a missile from near a mosque in southern Lebanon’s Yaroun at the Dovev area in northern Israel. "This is further proof of Hezbollah’s cynical exploitation of Lebanese civilians and holy sites for its terrorist activity," the IDF says. Projectiles were also fired at the Yiftah and Mount Dov areas on the border. The IDF says it is shelling the launch sites with artillery. |

#1 Hezbollah fired a missile from Leb at the Greek Orthodox Church of Iqrit I expect a, no holds barred, condemnation from the Pope. |
