Scores Of Israelis Injured In Iran Missile Strike
by Stefan J. Bos, Worthy News Chief International Correspondent
JERUSALEM/TEL AVIV (Worthy News) – At least 63 Israelis have been injured in Israel as Iran fired barrages of missiles at the Jewish nation, with blasts heard in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, officials said.
While the majority of missiles “were intercepted” by the Israeli Air Force or failed to reach their targets, several buildings have been damaged by the projectiles, and some were damaged by “interception fragments”, the Israeli military announced late Friday.
Tehran responded to Israel’s strikes on nuclear and other sites in the Islamic Republic.
Sirens sounded across Israel after the launch of dozens of Iranian missiles, and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) sent an initial warning on Friday to civilians “to take shelter” as Iranian missiles made their way to Israeli territory.
Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel’s national emergency organization, said earlier it provided medical treatment to 21 wounded individuals, including one person who was seriously wounded, two who were moderately injured, and 18 lightly wounded, who are having “anxiety attacks.”
As the night progressed, the number of reported injured Israeli civilians reportedly increased to more than 60.
MDA initially said its teams were sent out “to search seven places where reports [of injuries] came in from in Gush Dan,” as the Tel Aviv metropolitan area is also known.
It came while Israel continued targeting sites in Iran overnight, with air defenses in Iran’s capital, Tehran, being activated early on Saturday to intercept fresh Israeli strikes, state media reported.
Israel said it struck numerous sites ranging from nuclear and military facilities to the feared Iranian Tabriz military base, which the IDF said was “completely destroyed.”
The attacks come amid mounting concerns in Israel and its closest ally, the United States, that Tehran will soon have nuclear weapons.
