An Israeli farmer was killed Sunday near the Lebanese frontier, marking the first Israeli civilian death in the ongoing border conflict. Ofer Moskovitz, 60, of Misgav Am, was traveling in a vehicle when it was struck.
Israel’s military has stated the death was a result of misfired artillery from its own forces. The incident occurred as fighting continues along the border, alongside the conflict in Iran.
The military expressed regret over the accidental killing of the avocado farmer. The circumstances surrounding the misfire are under investigation.
