🔴 CLUSTER MUNITIONS STRIKE CENTRAL ISRAEL: Iran’s latest ballistic missile attack included at least one missile carrying a cluster bomb warhead, spreading bomblets over a wide area and causing multiple impacts in central Israel, including Kafr Qasim.
Magen David Adom says five people in Kafr Qasim were lightly wounded by blasts from the bomblets and taken to a hospital. Medics scanned additional areas in the city where submunitions struck.
🔴 ADDITIONAL INJURIES IN OTHER AREAS: In Tel Aviv, Magen David Adom revised the toll to two lightly wounded: a woman in her 40s hit by shrapnel and a 26-year-old man hurt by a blast.
In northern Israel, one man was wounded by shrapnel and is listed in light-to-moderate condition, apparently after a submunition or other falling fragments hit the area.
Two people were also lightly injured in the Western Galilee by falling fragments following the interception of a Hezbollah drone.
🔴 DAMAGE IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA: Homes in two communities in Judea and Samaria were damaged in the attack, with one apparently hit by a bomblet.
The Samaria Regional Council said: "In both cases, the families were in the bomb safe room," and no injuries were reported there.
🔴 PUBLIC INSTRUCTIONS: IDF search and rescue forces are on their way to sites in central Israel where impacts were reported.
The public is requested to avoid gathering in these areas and to continue following Home Front Command instructions.
