Lebanese sources report that Hezbollah fired an anti-tank missile at an Israeli military force that was attempting to advance toward Givat Ali al-Taher in southern Lebanon. The report, which surfaced at 19:40 Jerusalem, comes minutes after an earlier SAME-THREAD report (published by The Zioneer at 19:32) that described a Hezbollah Kornet anti-tank missile attack on Israeli forces in the same area, with the Israeli Air Force reportedly refraining from responding on political directives.
The incident follows a pattern of Hezbollah anti-tank engagements against IDF troops operating in southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer reported at 00:07 earlier today, the IAF intercepted a Hezbollah rocket aimed at Israeli forces. The July 13 surface-to-air missile report, also cited as BACKGROUND, was a separate incident. The current report is a single-sourced, unverified claim; the IDF has not commented. Casualties and extent of the engagement remain unknown.
