The incident reportedly took place after the Israeli military detected the launch of five projectiles from Lebanon. Sirens were activated in multiple areas, including the Upper Galilee, Central Galilee, Western Galilee, Haifa Bay, and Carmel.
However, Israel’s air defense systems successfully intercepted all the projectiles. Earlier on Sunday, a large barrage of anti-tank missiles was launched toward Israeli troops in southern Lebanon. In a statement, the IDF reported that two soldiers were severely injured during the attack, while several others sustained light to moderate injuries.

In a post on X, the IDF said, “Earlier today (Sunday), a large barrage of anti-tank missiles was fired toward IDF troops in southern Lebanon. During the attack, two IDF soldiers were severely injured and multiple other soldiers were lightly and moderately injured. Their families have been notified. An initial review showed that an IDF tank that was trying to evacuate injured soldiers while still under fire backed several meters into a UNIFIL post. Once the enemy fire stopped, and following the evacuation of the injured soldiers, the tank left the post. During the incident, a smoke screen was used to provide cover for the evacuation of the injured soldiers. IDF soldiers maintained coordination with UNIFIL. Throughout the entirety of the incident, no danger was posed to UNIFIL forces by the IDF activity.”
