Two elderly Israelis were lightly injured early Sunday in Holon, south of Tel Aviv, when rocket fire from Iran and Hezbollah struck Israel overnight, according to Magen David Adom.

MDA paramedics treated an 80-year-old man for minor glass shrapnel wounds and an 80-year-old woman for smoke inhalation. Several others were treated at the scene for shock, the organization said.

The Israeli military said multiple missiles were launched from Iran toward Eilat and central Israel overnight, while rockets were fired from Lebanon toward central regions early Sunday morning.

Sirens sounded across wide areas, sending residents rushing to shelters.

On Sunday morning, additional air-raid sirens were activated across northern Israel following additional launches from Lebanon toward the Upper Galilee, the Golan Heights and the Haifa Bay area.

The IDF Home Front Command instructed residents to remain in protected spaces until further notice.

MDA reported no additional casualties in later barrages and urged the public to follow Home Front Command safety instructions.

Iran continued to fire ballistic missiles at Israel throughout Saturday, with a cluster munition warhead lightly wounding two civilians in the southernmost city of Eilat.

The missile was likely intercepted by Israel’s air-defense system, but its fragments dropped in seven locations in Eilat, Ynet reported.

A boy, 12, and a man, 39, were taken to the city’s Yoseftal Medical Center. They were hit while outside protected spaces.

The Home Front Command will implement new defense guidelines starting on Monday at 6 a.m., easing restrictions in several lower-risk regions—the Beit She’an Valley, Jordan Valley, Samaria, Judea, the Dead Sea area, Western Lachish and the Southern Negev.

Educational and workplace activities will be allowed in locations with access to bomb shelters within the designated protection time, and gatherings of up to 50 people outdoors and 100 indoors will be permitted.
