A 102-year-old Israeli man has died after being injured in a fall while seeking shelter from an Iranian missile attack, Tel Aviv’s Ichilov-Sourasky Medical Center said on Sunday.

The man was hurt in Ramat Gan when he fell down stairs on his way to a protected area during the missile barrage, according to the hospital.

Paramedics found the man in unstable condition with severe head injuries after receiving a report of the incident in the Tel Aviv area around 2 p.m., according to Magen David Adom.

Emergency crews treated him at the scene before rushing him to Sourasky Medical Center, the rescue service said.

David Greenfield, CEO of Met Council, told JNS that the video “has strained relationships with a lot of us in the leadership, who have tried to work in good faith with the administration.”
U.S. President Donald Trump, who sought to unseat Cassidy, stated that “his disloyalty to the man who got him elected is now a part of legend, and it’s nice to see that his political career is over.”
A 31-year-old man of Moroccan descent ran over 7 people and stabbed another in a suspected terror attack near Milan.
“This is a strategic move designed to ensure Israel’s technological superiority, accelerate development in the field of AI, and maintain Israel’s position in the first line of world powers,” according to the Prime Minister’s Office.
“There are certainly many possibilities; we are prepared for any scenario,” the premier said.
The weekend statement from the Foreign Ministry comes six months after Jerusalem and the South American nation restored full diplomatic relations.
