An Iranian missile attack on central Israel late tonight killed one woman and wounded 21 others, including one person in critical condition and another in serious condition, according to emergency officials.

Three of the injured were listed in moderate condition, while 16 others sustained light injuries.

Rescue and medical teams rushed to two impact sites in the Tel Aviv area where missiles struck residential neighborhoods. Magen David Adom personnel transported a man in serious condition and another victim in moderate condition to the hospital, along with nine individuals who were lightly hurt.

The woman who had been critically injured later succumbed to her wounds.

Officials reported extensive destruction at the strike locations and said there were fears that additional victims could be trapped under debris. Search and rescue operations were continuing.

The Tel Aviv District commander told reporters that two homes suffered direct hits. “This is a serious scene and we are conducting searches. We evacuated five people from one of the homes, but the work is ongoing,” he said.

MDA EMT Ori Garbi described the chaos at the scene. “From the very first moment, it was clear to us that this was a serious scene. We saw thick black smoke rising from a residential building with extensive and significant destruction, cars going up in flames, and great commotion. We quickly established a casualty treatment point near the scene, where we provided medical care to several injured people, some of whom have already been evacuated to the hospital. Among the first casualties who reached us were a man in his 40s who was seriously injured and a man in his 30s in moderate condition. At the same time, together with Home Front Command, fire and police forces, we are conducting additional searches for casualties and actively treating more injured individuals at the scene.”

Air raid sirens sounded across central and northern Israel, as well as in Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem, during the barrage. Authorities estimate that 16 missiles were launched in total — eight toward Israel, two toward the United Arab Emirates, two toward Qatar, and two toward Jordan.

After the launches, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that it had “launched the third and fourth waves against military and security targets belonging to the US and Israel.”
