Israel’s emergency services say 14 people, including an 11-year-old girl, were injured near Tel Aviv on Wednesday during a missile attack attributed by the military to Iran.

Later in the day, medics reported treating a 61-year-old man in mild condition with blast injuries in the north following fire from Lebanon, where Israeli forces are engaged with Iran-backed Hezbollah.

The military said it detected a missile launched from Yemen, alongside four rounds of Iranian missiles, triggering air-raid sirens across much of central and northern Israel.

In the central city of Bnei Brak, close to Tel Aviv, the Magen David Adom said it treated and evacuated 14 injured people to the hospital, including an 11-year-old girl in critical condition with shrapnel wounds.

It added that a 13-year-old boy and a 36-year-old woman, also suffering from shrapnel injuries, were in moderate condition, while 11 others sustained minor injuries.

Police reported damage at multiple sites in central Israel and released an image appearing to show missile debris on a roadway.

As Israel prepared for the Passover holiday, which began at sunset, air-raid sirens sounded repeatedly in the Tel Aviv area—first in the morning and again later in the afternoon.

At a makeshift Seder gathering in a Tel Aviv bomb shelter, city council member Hadas Ragolsky said, “we asked multiple different restaurants and different distributors to donate food and fruits and everything you can see here — because it’s all donations”.

“People here in the shelter created their own family and they wanted to celebrate together. And there are also people who couldn’t go to their families in different cities and different places because of the missiles. It’s been so crazy to drive today.”
