Six people were wounded in central Israel after a new wave of Iranian missile strikes, with emergency services evacuating casualties to hospitals.
TEL AVIV: Six people were wounded, some by shrapnel, at blast sites in central Israel on Sunday according to first responders, after the military said it had detected a new wave of Iranian missiles.
A spokesperson for the Magen David Adom emergency services said medics and paramedics were providing medical treatment and evacuating the wounded to hospitals.
The casualties included a 40-year-old man in serious condition and a 25-year-old man moderately injured, with a further three people in mild condition.
A spokesperson for the Ichilov hospital in Tel Aviv said one man wounded in the neck was receiving urgent treatment.
Earlier, at least 10 explosions were heard over Tel Aviv by AFP journalists.
Israeli media showed images it said were from Tel Aviv of a blast hole in a street with a damaged car jutting out of it.
The Israeli military had warned prior to the blasts that it had identified missiles launched from Iran towards the territory of the State of Israel.
In a separate media briefing prior to the missile warning, military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani said that Iran’s firepower had dropped dramatically all across the region, not only towards Israel.
Iran has been firing missiles at Israel and countries across the region in response to a US-Israeli campaign that killed supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
