At least 40 people were hurt in Iran’s ballistic missile attack on Israel on Friday according to Magen David Adom, Israel’s emergency medical service.

Iran fired around 100 ballistic missiles at Israel during the attack.

Magen David Adom told JNS that of the 40, two are in severe-to-critical condition.

Some of the victims have been taken to local hospitals.

Unconfirmed video footage of the attacks shows both interceptions and apparent impacts in and around Tel Aviv.

Magen David Adom wrote that it was investigating seven potential impact sites in the area for damage.

Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani, the IDF’s international spokesman, stated that all of Israel was forced to shelter during from the attack.

“While we target and neutralize precisely global threats, Iran aims indiscriminately at the whole country and a whole people,” Shoshani said. “Another wave of attack is heading toward our people.”
