The Israeli Army detected the launch of ballistic missiles from Iran, with targets in the center of the country and the Jerusalem region

Within minutes, warning sirens began to sound, warning the population to seek shelter immediately.

Soon after, a second wave of launches was identified, also aimed at the same central areas.

Again, sirens echoed, forcing people to quickly take cover.

In Rehovot, a city in central Israel, missile fragments fell and caused damage to a house.

Photos show debris, including a piece of the missile on the living room floor.

Fortunately, police and rescue services have confirmed that no one was injured in this incident.

During the rush to reach the shelters, an elderly woman of around 70 years old was injured and was taken to hospital in moderate condition, with head injuries, according to the Magen David Adom emergency service.

Other people also received treatment for minor injuries, all related to the rush to protect themselves during the attacks.

It is common, in these situations, for injuries to occur more from the rush towards shelters than from the direct impacts of missiles or falling shrapnel.
