One of those critically wounded in a suspected cluster munition impact in central has died, first responders say.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service says three people were injured at two locations in the Iranian ballistic missile attack.

At a construction site, two men in their 40s were critically hurt by shrapnel, with one succumbing to their wounds, MDA says. The second man was taken to a hospital.

At another location in central Israel, a man in his 30s was seriously wounded, according to MDA.

Today’s fatality marks the 11th victim of Iranian missile attacks on Israel since the start of the war on February 28.
