Twelve people, including six children and two elderly women, were evacuated to local hospitals after being treated for shrapnel injuries in Bnei Brak following a barrage of cluster munitions from Iran to central Israel.
All but one of those people were described as being in mild condition with shrapnel or blast injuries, according to Magen David Adom. One, a 23-year-old man, was taken to the hospital in moderate condition after sustaining shrapnel injuries to the head and abdomen.
Among those in mild condition was a 94-year-old woman who was rescued from her home on the top floor of an apartment building. According to United Hatzalah, the building was damaged in a "direct hit" from an Iranian missile.
Emergency responders worked at three sites of impact in Bnei Brak, three in Petah Tikvah, and one in Rosh Ha’ayin.
In Petah Tikvah, several buildings were damaged by shrapnel impacts, and three people suffered from post-traumatic symptoms, but nobody sustained bodily harm. In Rosh Ha'ayin, several vehicles were damaged in the impact.
Woman dies from shrapnel injuries after Hezbollah rocket launches
Earlier, a 27-year-old woman, identified later as Nuriel Dubin from Bnei Yehuda, was killed in northern Israel after rocket fire from Hezbollah in Lebanon. Two others were treated for mild injuries from broken glass shards, MDA reported.
“In a ditch on the side of the road, we saw a woman unconscious with severe shrapnel injuries and multi-system trauma," said MDA Paramedic Oren Ne’eman. "We performed medical assessments, but she had no signs of life, and we were forced to pronounce her dead at the scene."
Ne'eman continued his account, saying: "A man in his 20s approached us, suffering from a head injury caused by shrapnel. He told us that while he had pulled over to the side of the road during the siren, a missile fell nearby, and he was injured by shrapnel. We provided him with medical treatment and evacuated him to the hospital in mild condition.”
Four people were lightly wounded following the fall of Iranian missile shrapnel in Safed on Tuesday evening, according to Israeli media outlets.
Bedouin family in the Negev wounded in Iranian missile barrage
Earlier that afternoon, several people were wounded in the Negev area after an Iranian missile fragment landed in the Negev region, according to MDA.
MDA teams treated a man in his 40s in moderate condition after sustaining injuries to his limbs, as well as a 26-year-old woman and a two-month-old infant in mild condition.
Later, the wounded were taken to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, which reported that an adult in serious condition was undergoing treatment, and the infant, in mild condition, was undergoing evaluation.
Israeli media reported four wounded, although only the man in his 40s and the infant were reported as being treated in the hospital.
The wounded are all members of the same family in the Bedouin community.
A resident of the village where the missile fragments hit told Walla: "We are in distress. Our children are traumatized. Why can't we bring protection to people here? There are elderly people there, and there is no protection for them. There is nothing."
Soroka Medical Center also reported that a total of 20 people were taken to the hospital's emergency department following the Iranian missile barrage in the South, many of whom were suffering from post-traumatic symptoms.
School in northern Israel damaged by Hezbollah rockets, no wounded
That afternoon, rocket sirens sounded multiple times in Israel's Negev region in response to launches from Iran aimed at the south of the country.
At the same time, Hezbollah also launched rockets at Israel's North. Israel's Fire and Rescue services reported one shrapnel fall location with no wounded as a result of that launch.
N12 News reported that a school in the area was damaged, citing the local municipal authority.
Nobody was in the school at the time, as the Home Front Command had mandated that educational activities be conducted remotely.
