Warning sirens wailed across Israel Thursday morning as waves of Iranian missiles and Hezbollah rockets struck multiple locations, leaving at least seven people injured and causing significant damage in several cities.
The most serious casualty was an 11-year-old girl in Safed who went into cardiac arrest when rocket warning sirens began sounding. Medical responders found her without vital signs and administered emergency treatment, including defibrillation, successfully restoring her heartbeat. She remains in critical condition.
Magen David Adom emergency services reported treating several other victims throughout the morning. A woman in her 60s sustained moderate injuries after falling while rushing to a shelter and was transported to Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer. In Petah Tikva, two people received minor injuries when a car collided with parked vehicles during an alert, requiring evacuation to Beilinson Hospital.
The city of Kafr Qasim bore the brunt of direct missile impact, with video footage revealing a large crater in a roadway and overturned cars. A man and woman, both approximately 55 years old, suffered minor injuries from the explosion’s shock wave and received treatment at the scene. Magen David Adom later confirmed that five people in Kafr Qasim and one person in Sha’ar Shomron sustained light wounds from debris.
During mid-morning attacks, a bus operator in Krayot received minor injuries from a blast wave after a fragmented missile targeted the northern region. Debris from intercepted missiles damaged a shopping center, affecting multiple retail stores.
The coordinated assault triggered emergency alerts throughout Gush Dan, the Sharon region, the Lowlands, and Samaria as Iranian launches targeted these areas. Additional projectiles were detected heading toward central Israel and Jerusalem, while Hezbollah forces simultaneously fired missiles that set off sirens in Safed.
The barrage continued in rapid succession throughout the morning hours, with Iran launching multiple rounds targeting central regions and Jerusalem, while Lebanon contributed a separate wave of attacks.
