Ofer Moskowitz Killed After Anti-Tank Rocket From Lebanon Strikes Car in Northern Israel

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack.

Overview

  • Magen David Adom reported one fatality after a direct hit ignited a vehicle near Kibbutz Misgav Am in the Upper Galilee.
  • The victim, 60-year-old Ofer Moskowitz, managed Misgav Am’s avocado orchards and frequently returned from evacuation to tend fields and poultry coops.
  • Days before his death, he warned that a missile or drone could strike him at any moment, calling the risk “Russian roulette.”
  • Kibbutz Misgav Am mourned him in an official statement, calling him “an orator, farmer, friend, and a symbol and legacy for all of us.”
  • Local reporting underscores that northern border communities often have only seconds of warning before incoming fire, leaving little time to reach shelter.
