At least 12 injured in central Israel after missile launch, say emergency services

Emergency responders in Israel reported that at least 12 people were wounded in the country’s central region following a missile launch from Iran, according to AFP.

The Magen David Adom (MDA) said its teams treated nine injured individuals in the city of Bnei Brak, located near Tel Aviv, before transferring them to nearby hospitals.

Among the injured was a 23-year-old man in moderate condition who suffered shrapnel wounds to his abdomen and head. The remaining eight victims were reported to have minor injuries, including six children.

MDA also confirmed that three additional people were hurt in the nearby area of Givat Shmuel.

Visuals from the scene showed significant structural damage in Bnei Brak. A balcony had collapsed onto a parked car, while images released by rescue teams indicated that part of a residential building had caved in, with an upper-floor apartment collapsing into the level below.

Authorities continue to assess the situation as emergency teams remain active in the affected areas.
