Shrapnel hits across central Israel, injuring several, causing property damage

At least three people were being treated for injuries, including two hospital evacuations, according to Magen David Adom.

Shrapnel from an intercepted Iranian ballistic missile hit at least 15 sites across central Israel on Monday morning, Israeli media reported, adding that the missile barrage included a cluster munition.

Magen David Adom Director-General Eli Bin said that at least three people were being treated for injuries caused by the shrapnel. At least four others were being treated for anxiety-related symptoms.

At least one woman, approximately 34 years old, was seriously injured near Petah Tikva and was evacuated to the hospital for treatment of a chest injury caused by shrapnel, MDA confirmed.

However, her condition was later updated to moderate, a spokesperson for Rabin Medical Center said.

MDA later posted a photograph of a vehicle near Petah Tikva that was damaged by shrapnel near the scene of an impact, stating that someone was seriously injured in the incident.

The driver exited the vehicle according to Home Front Command’s security guidelines, but the vehicle was hit by a fragment, causing shrapnel to injure them.

Another individual was lightly injured at the side of the road near Petah Tikva, according to Walla.

Another individual was evacuated to the hospital after being lightly injured by falling shrapnel in the Tel Aviv area, MDA added.

MDA confirmed that emergency services were mobilized to extinguish vehicle fires caused by the shrapnel, posting video footage of their firefighting efforts.

Footage shared by Israeli media appears to show property damage in the Tel Aviv area, including a burst water pipe.

Damage was also reported at a school in the Tel Aviv area, with photographs shared by Maariv appearing to show damage to the outer wall of the school.

Additionally, shrapnel landed on the roof of a building, but caused no injuries, while another fragment hit a private home, also causing no injuries.

Sirens also sounded in the Beersheba area and Gaza border communities at approximately 8 a.m., but no instances of shrapnel or injuries were reported after the missile was successfully intercepted.
