Teen girl fatally run over in Rehovot, reportedly while rushing to shelter amid Iran missile attack

A 17-year-old girl was fatally run over by a car in Rehovot this evening, paramedics say, reportedly while dashing across a street to seek shelter ahead of an Iranian missile attack.

The teenager received an early warning of an incoming strike on her phone and rushed with her friend to a protected area, Hebrew media reports. While crossing the road, she was hit by a car.

In the end, sirens did not go off in the city.

Medics dispatched to the scene found the girl unconscious and in critical condition. They pronounced her dead on the scene, Magen David Adom says.
