The 31-year-old has been hospitalized and put on a ventilator, according to the Galilee Medical Center.
Hezbollah fired anti-tank missiles toward northern Israel on Sunday, injuring one soldier and two civilians who were hit by shrapnel and are receiving treatment, according to the Galilee Medical Center. A spokesperson from the medical center told CNN one of the two civilians is a 31-year-old American citizen, who is in a “serious and stable condition.” “(He) was admitted to the shock room, where the medical teams had to anesthetize him and put him on a ventilator,” the center added. “He will be hospitalized in the general intensive care unit later on.” CNN has reached out to the US State Department on the injured American. Earlier today, the Israeli military said the Iran-backed militant group fired dozens of projectiles and anti-tank missiles toward northern Israel, lightly injuring a soldier who was evacuated to receive treatment.
