JERUSALEM (AP) — Two civilians have been killed in northern Israel after an anti-tank missile fired from Lebanon hit their home in a town near the border. The bloodshed comes a day after Israel said it foiled an infiltration attempt from Lebanon and raises new concerns of a second conflict against the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas war. Sunday marked the 100th day of a conflict between Israel and Hamas that has killed nearly 24,000 Palestinians, devastated vast swaths of Gaza, driven around 85% of its 2.3 million residents from their homes and pushed a quarter of the population into starvation.
