Fourteen people were injured in Israel, including an 11-year-old girl who is in serious condition, the Israeli first aid service said today, following a new missile launch by Iran against Israel.
The rescue teams “are providing medical care and transporting to hospitals 14 injured people, including an 11-year-old girl in serious condition, suffering from wounds from debris on her limbs, a 36-year-old woman and a 13-year-old boy (….) bearing wounds from debris, and 11 lightly injured,” Magen David Adom (MDA), the Israeli equivalent of the Red Cross, said in a statement.
Magen David Adom did not specify where these people were injured. Israeli police, for its part, said it had received reports of “dropped weapons and ammunition items” in the Tel Aviv area and the central part of the country.
Between 06:20 and 09:00 local and local time, the Israeli military said it detected three missile launches originating from Iran into Israel and one more from Yemen.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels, allies of Iran, today claimed responsibility for their third missile attack on Israel in a statement issued by their spokesman and posted on Telegram.
The Houthi rebels, who entered the war on Saturday, clarified that they were targeting “sensitive” targets in the south of the country.
“The operation was conducted jointly with our brothers” in Iran and Lebanon’s Shiite movement, Hezbollah, and “achieved its objectives,” they noted.
Meanwhile, early this morning the Israeli military announced that the Israeli air force has carried out over 800 strikes on Iran since the start of the Israeli and US war with the Islamic Republic, which is now in its fifth week.
The military said that around 16.000 different munitions were used in the attacks, adding that it will continue to strike “targeted” against the Iranian “terrorist regime” along with intelligence agencies.
He also added that a widespread wave of strikes targeting infrastructure facilities linked to Iran’s power apparatus had been completed in the meantime.
