Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency service has disclosed that five people were killed and 92 wounded Monday in Iran’s latest missile strikes on the country, raising the previous toll of four deaths.
The casualties were from strikes on four sites in central Israel, the MDA stated in a statement, adding those killed included “two women and two men around the age of 70, as well as one additional fatality”.
“So far, MDA teams have evacuated 92 injured individuals to hospitals, including a 30-year-old woman in serious condition with facial injuries, six in moderate condition, and 85 in mild condition,” it added.
The MDA revealed that search and rescue operations were ongoing at two of the four sites.
Iran launched a barrage of missile assaults on Israeli cities early Monday after Israel hit military targets deep inside Iran, with both sides vowing additional devastation.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz warned Monday that Tehran inhabitants will “pay the price” for Iranian attacks on Israeli civilians.
