The Israeli army has said that a civilian was killed near the country’s northern border with Lebanon, as near-daily exchanges of fire with Hezbollah rage, AFP reports.

“Overnight, terrorists fired anti-tank missiles toward the area of Har Dov in northern Israel,” the Israeli army said, referring to the disputed Shebaa Farms district.

“As a result, an Israeli civilian doing infrastructure work was injured and he was later pronounced dead.”

Israeli media reported that the victim was an Arab-Israeli truck driver.

Police told AFP they had not identified the body, but said it was the only one found after a truck was hit.
