Five people were killed and 74 injured in Iran’s latest attacks on central Israel, according to Israeli emergency services.
In the latest wave of missile attacks launched by Iran, five people were killed in central Israel, according to the Israeli emergency services. The casualties include two women and one man, all reportedly in their 70s.
The Magen David Adom (Israel’s national emergency medical service) reported that at least 74 others sustained injuries during the strikes. Among them, one individual in critical condition was transported to a nearby hospital for urgent treatment.
Emergency teams remain active at two locations where rescue operations are still underway. Search-and-rescue units are working to locate anyone who may be trapped under rubble or in damaged buildings.
The strikes mark one of the deadliest single-day escalations in recent weeks, with heightened concern among civilians and renewed warnings from Israeli authorities. Sirens blared across central regions as air defense systems attempted to intercept incoming projectiles.
According to The Times of Israel and Reuters, this escalation comes amid mounting regional tension, with multiple fronts now involved in the Iran-Israel confrontation, including Houthi and Hezbollah threats.
The increasing frequency and severity of Iran’s missile attacks pose a significant threat to Israeli security and civilian life. With rescue operations ongoing, the toll may rise.
Diplomatic efforts are urgently needed to prevent further escalation. The international community, including the EU and UN, continues to call for restraint and immediate dialogue to avert a broader regional conflict.
