The Magen David Adom ambulance service says it has treated a total of 89 people who were lightly injured as a result of Iran’s ballistic missile attacks, the vast majority of them indirectly.
MDA says a 16-year-old was hurt by shrapnel in Kfar Qasim, a man in his 50s was injured by a blast shockwave in Ka’abiyye-Tabbash-Hajajrem, and a 53-year-old was wounded after falling from a height following a missile fragment impact in Tirat Carmel.
The other 86 were injured after falling over while running to shelters, MDA says. Six others were treated for acute anxiety.
