A woman in her 30s was killed in northern Israel, and seven people, including an infant and a seven-year-old boy, were injured in Bnei Brak on Tuesday when rocket and missile fire struck multiple civilian areas across the country.

The fatality occurred at the Mahanayim Junction, where a Hezbollah rocket hit. Magen David Adom teams confirmed the woman’s death at the scene.

Two others at the location were treated for minor shrapnel wounds.

In a separate strike in central Israel, a missile with a fragmenting warhead hit Bnei Brak without being intercepted.

Emergency services reported one man, 23, in moderate condition with shrapnel injuries, while six additional casualties were listed in light condition, including an infant and a seven-year-old boy.

Damage from the impact was reported in several areas. In Bnei Brak, part of a residential balcony collapsed, while in nearby Rosh HaAyin, a car overturned.

Additional rocket fire targeted northern communities, with sirens sounding again shortly after the initial strike. In Safed, two people sustained light injuries from broken glass.

In southern Israel, a separate incident left a staff doctor at Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba wounded after fragments fell near his home in the Bedouin village of Alsira following the interception of an Iranian missile near Nevatim.

Soroka Medical Center said the doctor, Asra Abu Rafa, in his 30s, was in moderate condition. His wife and infant daughter were reported to be in good condition. The hospital also said it was treating 17 people suffering from severe anxiety.

Emergency responders continued operating across multiple locations as impacts were reported in northern, central, and southern Israel.
