An Israeli "Merkava" tank was destroyed in northern Israel by Hezbollah forces. The incident occurred at a border post where Hezbollah fighters successfully approached undetected and targeted the tank with an anti-tank guided missile. This attack is part of a series of recent losses for Israel, which has seen multiple "Merkava" tanks disabled in the past few days.

Since October 2023, a total of 929 "Merkava" tanks from various series have been rendered inoperable in Gaza. Over the same period, Hezbollah fighters have been responsible for the destruction of approximately 110 "Merkava 4" tanks, indicating a significant impact on Israel's armored vehicle capabilities.
