JERUSALEM: Israel’s emergency medical service said 14 people including an 11-year-old girl were wounded during a missile attack that the military blamed on Iran and police said caused damage at several sites.
The military said it had “identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel” for the first time in about 20 hours, with air raid sirens activated across central Israel.
Another warning of incoming missile fire came less than an hour later, prompting alerts across large parts of northern and central Israel, according to the military’s Home Front Command.
“EMTs and paramedics are providing medical treatment and evacuating to hospitals 14 casualties,” the Magen David Adom emergency medical service said in a statement, including an 11-year-old girl in a serious condition with shrapnel injuries.
It said a 13-year-old boy and 36-year-old woman, also with shrapnel injuries, were in moderate condition and a further 11 casualties in “mild condition.”
