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.”

The unequivocal remarks come in reaction to allegations of ties between Michigan Senate Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed and the Islamist group.
The iconic singer will perform two concerts in the Jewish state, and will speak to the press at the Nova festival memorial site for the Oct. 7 victims.
“Abdul promises to get money out of politics,” the Michigan congresswoman wrote. “He can begin by getting Israel out of his explanation for everything Michigan cannot afford.”
Threats to the Jewish state’s natural gas assets and sea approaches have multiplied across the Mediterranean, Red Sea and Persian Gulf, and Turkey is developing its own undersea fleet in an assertive maritime expansion.
