The Magen David Adom ambulance service says it treated two people who were lightly injured at an impact site in central Israel amid the Hezbollah missile attack a short time ago.

They include a 32-year-old man who was hit by a flying object and a 38-year-old woman who sustained a leg injury.

The IDF says it is investigating the failure to intercept one of Hezbollah’s missiles. According to the military, a number of long-range projectiles were fired in the attack from Lebanon. Some of the missiles were intercepted by air defenses, and others were allowed to hit open areas, it says.

The IDF says that one missile impacted in central Israel, and the “circumstances of the incident are under investigation.”
