Iran Missiles Pound Israel in Eighth Wave of Attacks Since Friday Morning
Iran launched another round of attacks against Israel, its eighth salvo since Friday morning, targeting central and northern Israel and triggering sirens all across the region. Emergency services reported a fire at a home in Rehovot and damage to other areas.
Alerts sounded in the Galilee north of the Sea of Galilee, as well as Mishmar HaYarden, Gadot and Ayelet HaShahar. Sirens also sounded in central Israel, Jerusalem, the Dan region, the Shfela Lachish and parts of the Negev earlier Friday.
Israeli officials said that some of the missiles contained separating warheads, a type of cluster bomb. Among the impact sites that were reported were a site in Tel Aviv, damaged cars in Rehovot and a building that caught fire.
A man and woman in Rehovot were lightly injured and transported to a hospital for treatment, according to Magen David Adom. A 70-year-old woman was moderately injured while trying to reach shelter. No injuries in the Negev were reported. The military said that rockets fired at northern Israel landed in open areas. It also said that alerts sounded in waves throughout the afternoon and urged civilians to take shelter during each alert.
The IDF said earlier that it was continuing to fight on multiple fronts, adding that since the war began it had destroyed 2,000 Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, including command centers, weapons storage sites and missile launchers.
