A US citizen was seriously wounded when Hezbollah terrorists fired a 20-rocket barrage at northern Israel on Saturday, officials said.
Two of the terror group’s anti-tank missiles hit a military post near the Zar’it community, where the subsequent explosion injured the 31-year-old American and an Israeli civilian, along with an Israel Defense Force soldier, according to the Israeli military.
No further details were given out about the American. The injured Israelis only suffering minor wounds.
The three victims were transported to the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya for treatment, the Times of Israel reported.
The IDF said it was investigating why the American and Israeli civilians were at the army post at the time of the attack.
Hezbollah took responsibility for the strike, which primarily targeted northern communities near Safed and Lower Galilee, the IDF said.
