On Tuesday, a series of events unfolded as Iran launched missile attacks towards Israel, prompting a swift response from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The IDF reported that at least one person was killed and several others were injured in the exchange.
According to the IDF's international spokesperson, the attacks resulted in the death of one Palestinian in Jericho, located in the occupied West Bank. The individual succumbed to injuries caused by shrapnel from an interceptor missile launched by Israel in an effort to counter the incoming threat.
The IDF condemned Iran's actions, labeling the firing of nearly 200 missiles as an attempt to target civilians and warning of the potential for a broader escalation in the region. The spokesperson emphasized Israel's commitment to protecting its citizens and stated that a response to the attack would be determined at an appropriate time and manner.
Amid the chaos, two individuals in Tel Aviv sustained minor injuries from shrapnel, as confirmed by Israel's Magen David Adom emergency services. The situation remains tense as both sides assess the aftermath of the missile exchanges and brace for potential further developments.
