Jerusalem: An Israeli woman was killed Tuesday in northern Israel in a rocket attack from Lebanon, said medics, as a barrage of projectiles triggered air raid sirens across the Galilee region.
According to Anadolu Agency, sirens warning of missile and rocket fire were activated in the Upper Galilee, including Hulata and Yesud HaMa'ala, while additional alerts sounded in the Galilee Panhandle and areas, including Margaaliot, Kiryat Shmona, and nearby settlements.
Israel's national emergency service MDA reported that a woman was critically wounded in the attack and later pronounced dead. Two others were reported to have sustained light injuries. Approximately 30 projectiles were fired toward the Upper Galilee, with most landing in open areas, according to the report.
Hezbollah has continued to fire barrages of rockets into Israel since early March, prompting Israel to respond with airstrikes and a ground offensive in southern Lebanon amid escalating regional tensions. Lebanese authorities report that at least 1,039 people have been killed and 2,876 injured in Israeli attacks since March 2.
Separately, seven people were wounded in Bnei Brak after fragments from a cluster-type missile fell, causing significant damage to a residential building, according to Yedioth Ahronoth. Another person was moderately injured in Petah Tikva, near Tel Aviv, after debris hit a building.
The Israel Hayom daily indicated that rescue and firefighting teams were searching six sites across the Gush Dan area following the fall of missile fragments. Videos on local platforms showed damage to homes, buildings, and vehicles in Bnei Brak, Rosh HaAyin, and Petah Tikva.
The Ministry of Health stated that the number of people injured since the beginning of its war against Iran has risen to 4,918, including 89 injured in the last 11 hours. The current escalation follows a joint US-Israeli offensive on Iran, which has resulted in more than 1,340 deaths since February 28. Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, along with Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries, stating they are aimed at 'US military assets.'
