Hezbollah terrorists based in Lebanon unleashed a barrage of missiles into Israel on Sunday, destroying an ambulance and prompting return fire, according to reports.

The explosive exchange near the northern Israeli town of Avivim was confirmed to The Jerusalem Post by Israel Defense Forces spokesman Brigadier General Ronen Manelis.

“A number of anti-tank missiles were fired from Lebanon at an IDF base and military vehicles in the area,” said Manelis of the assault, launched around 4:30 p.m. local time. “There are a number of confirmed hits.”

Hezbollah’s propaganda arm claimed that its strike destroyed an Israeli military vehicle, killing at least one soldier, according to Agence-France Presse.

The IDF disputed, however, that there were any casualties in the nation.

“Hezbollah fired 2-3 anti-tank missiles from Lebanon, hitting an IDF military outpost and ambulance in northern Israel,” the IDF tweeted. “We fired at the Hezbollah squad responsible. No Israelis were injured in the attack.”

The IDF ordered Israeli residents living within about 2.5 miles of the border to shelter in place, as they launched more than 100 artillery shells in retaliation, according to The Jerusalem Post.

There were no immediate reports of casualties in Lebanon, but the nation’s army reported that an Israeli drone dumping incendiary material along the border sparked a forest fire, according to the outlet.

Lebanese Prime Minister Sa’ad Hariri called on the international community, including the US and France, to step in and de-escalate the flaring tensions, The Jerusalem Post reported, citing Lebanese state-run media.
