This was announced by a spokeswoman. Almost 600 people have been injured since then.

According to the emergency services, there have been a total of four attacks in the greater Tel Aviv area. The US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, reported on X about slight damage to the building of the embassy branch in Tel Aviv due to vibrations caused by a rocket impact nearby. No one was injured. In the port city of Haifa in the north of the country, three people were found dead in the rubble. Two more bodies were recovered from a building hit the day before in Bat Jam.

In Petach Tikva near Tel Aviv, three people were killed by a direct hit in the shelter in which they had sought refuge, the Israeli spokeswoman confirmed. The army always calls on people to seek safety in private shelters or public air raid shelters in the event of attacks, as this saves lives.
