Iranian hit injures woman in Rishon Letzion area

A woman about 30 years old suffered light injuries on Monday morning in the Rishon Letzion area, south of Tel Aviv, from Iranian missile fire on Israel.

Magen David Adom paramedics treated her at the scene before evacuating her to Shamir Medical Center (formerly Assaf Harofeh Medical Center) in Be’er Ya’akov, where she was listed in good condition.

There were several impact sites in central Israel, including the injured woman’s apartment and a house in Shoham, east of Ben-Gurion International Airport. Cluster munitions were reportedly used in the latest Iranian attack.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited the site of the missile strike in Rishon Letzion, touring a family home that was destroyed in the attack and viewing the damage up close, his office said.

Standing in the shattered living room where a cluster bomb detonated, Herzog condemned Tehran for using the “weapon of the weak” and said the Iranian people “deserve so much better” than a regime that spends their resources exporting “havoc, terror, hate and bloodshed” around the world.
