(July 7, 2024 / JNS) Three Israelis were wounded, including one seriously, on Sunday afternoon when a Hezbollah anti-tank missile fired from Lebanon scored a direct hit in the area of Moshav Zar’it in the Upper Galilee.

Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya said that the seriously wounded victim, a 31-year-old man, was sedated and intubated in the hospital’s trauma center, in stable condition.

The other victims, aged 42 and 25, were lightly injured and were undergoing tests in the emergency room, the hospital said.

The Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya updates: the condition of the American citizen who was seriously injured by an anti-tank missile in the Zerait area in the Western Galilee has worsened.

Following reports in local media that the wounded included an American citizen, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem confirmed to JNS it “received information regarding the injury of a private U.S. citizen.”

“We are gathering additional information and can confirm the individual does not work for the U.S. government. However, due to privacy concerns, we have nothing more to share,” the spokesperson stated.
