Elderly woman injured while seeking shelter from missiles

The Magen David Adom rescue service says a woman in her 70s is being transported to a hospital in central Israel with moderate injuries sustained while trying to reach a shelter during a series of missile attacks a short while ago.

A statement from the rescue service says the woman suffered injuries to her head.

Several others are being treated for minor injuries related to the scramble for shelter it says.

Injuries sustained while seeking shelter typically outnumber those suffered from actual missile impacts or falling shrapnel.
