An Israeli government official spoke on Sunday with the mother of a man whose home in Zarzir, a Bedouin town in the Lower Galilee, was struck by an Iranian ballistic missile.

“Are you OK?” Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson Oren Marmorstein asked Fatma within the damaged house.

“Praise God [we are],” the woman answered.

Two people sustained moderate wounds and dozens of others were lightly injured on March 12 when an overnight missile strike from Iran struck Zarzir, a community six miles west of Nazareth known for the high proportion of men volunteering for service in the Israeli Police and IDF.

Thirty-nine casualties were brought to Clalit Health Services’ HaEmek Medical Center in Afula, including a 34-year-old woman who was hit by shrapnel and a 50-year-old man who suffered blast injuries, the hospital said. Among the injured were 17 children.
