Medical emergency teams report that six people sustained injuries Sunday afternoon when Iranian cluster missiles impacted central Israel, marking another escalation in the eight-day conflict between the two nations.
According to United Hatzalah and Magen David Adom emergency services, the casualties included a 40-year-old man in serious condition, a 25-year-old man with moderate injuries, and a 56-year-old man who suffered minor wounds. Three additional victims received treatment for minor injuries.
Fire and rescue crews responded to two main impact zones in central Israel where cluster munition fragments had scattered, with firefighting teams actively working at both locations as part of the emergency response effort.
Sunday’s violence began early, with five separate rocket attacks targeting Israel starting at approximately 2 a.m. local time. These initial strikes did not produce severe casualties. A seventh wave of missiles was launched later in the afternoon, though preliminary assessments suggested minimal damage or injuries.
Israel’s Health Ministry released statistics Sunday showing that 1,619 individuals have needed hospital care since the conflict with Iran commenced.
Currently, 87 people remain in medical facilities receiving treatment. Four patients are fighting for their lives in critical condition, with two of those cases directly linked to Iranian missile impacts. Medical staff are treating 31 people for moderate injuries and 50 for minor wounds, while two patients are still being evaluated by doctors.
Emergency response teams continue surveillance of strike locations while providing ongoing medical support as officials evaluate the damage from the most recent missile bombardment.
