Israel’s military said on Sunday an anti-tank missile was fired from Lebanon towards the Israeli border village of Avivim. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Israel has been on high alert for a possible confrontation with Lebanon’s highly-armed group Hezbollah.
The Israeli military ordered residents near the Lebanese border to remain inside, and for shelters to be opened in the area, according to an Israeli television.
