An 85-year-old man who was wounded when his home was hit by an Iranian missile in Rehovot during last month’s 12-day war has died of his wounds, according to Hebrew media reports.

The reports do not identify the man, who was reportedly rescued in moderate condition from the building and treated at Kaplan Medical Center in the city, where his condition was said to have fluctuated over the past six weeks.

Two weeks ago, Philippine national Leah Mosquera succumbed to her wounds, one month after being injured in the same missile attack.

Today’s death brings the number of victims killed in Israel by Iranian missiles to 30.
