A man in his 60s was killed Friday night in Tel Aviv after being struck by shrapnel from an Iranian cluster missile that targeted central Israel.

Emergency responders from Magen David Adom arrived at the scene and were forced to declare the victim dead shortly after assessing his condition.

MDA Senior EMT Shai Bachar said, “When we arrived at the scene, we saw a man in his 60s lying on the ground, unconscious and suffering from very severe injuries. We provided him with medical treatment, but his injuries were critical and we had no choice but to pronounce him dead at the scene. At the same time, additional MDA teams are searching the scene to ensure there are no other casualties.”

Police officials later confirmed that the man had not been inside a protected shelter when the missile struck.

Elsewhere in central Israel, two additional individuals sustained light injuries and were treated by paramedics before being transported to hospitals. They were taken to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv and Wolfson Hospital in Holon for further care.

MDA Medicycle Unit EMT Anwar Sharkawi said, “When we arrived at the scene, we rescued two men in their 50s from a residential building in mild to moderate condition, suffering from blast injuries and facial trauma. They told us the impact was on the roof of the building, which caused damage to the apartment, and they were injured while on their way to a shelter. We provided them with medical treatment, and evacuated them to the hospital in stable condition.”

Authorities reported at least 11 separate impact locations across central Israel from the cluster missile, including one in Petach Tikva where a building sustained damage.

The attack, which occurred at approximately 11:45 p.m., set off warning sirens across central Israel, as well as in Yerushalayim and the Ashdod region.

Earlier in the evening, a separate Iranian launch triggered alarms in southern Israel. That missile was successfully intercepted, though falling debris from the interception caused additional incidents on the ground.

In those earlier strikes, MDA teams treated two people for minor shrapnel-related injuries, including a 37-year-old man and a woman in her 20s. Both were transported to Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva for treatment.
