Iran launched several barrages of ballistic missiles at Israel Friday night, sending Israelis across the country rushing to shelters as the skies were filled with streaks of light and fireballs from incoming projectiles and Israeli interceptions.
Some 41 people were reported hurt in the strikes. According to Magen David Adom, two people were listed in critical condition, while two others were moderately hurt. The rest were lightly hurt or suffered acute anxiety.
Media reports indicated the critically wounded individuals were not in shelters when wounded.
Iranian media claims hundreds of missiles were fired, while the Israel Defense Forces estimated that the actual number stood at less than 100.
Several missiles impacted central Israel, with large explosions heard in the Tel Aviv area and smoke seen rising over several impact locations.
Channel 12 quoted an unnamed Israeli political source as threatening Iran with escalated strikes.
“Iran will pay an unbearably heavy price for firing at civilian areas,” the source was quoted as saying. “We know what Israel hit [in its attacks on Iranian targets today],” and we know what Israel decided not to hit. And that’s the next step.”
