Yevgenia Blinder is named as one of the three people killed in Iran’s overnight ballistic missile attack on Israel.
She was killed in a barrage on the central city of Rishon Lezion early this morning, as was Yisrael Aloni, 73, whose death was announced earlier today.
Blinder, who was in her 60s, worked as a caregiver in the house next to Aloni’s in Rishon Lezion, Hebrew outlets report.
Last night, Etti Cohen Engel, in her 60s, was critically wounded in an earlier missile strike on Ramat Gan. She later died of her injuries.
In addition to the three people killed, some 70 people were wounded by the approximately 200 ballistic missiles fired from Iran.
