People across Israel were subjected to round after round of Iranian missile launches on Friday, with alarms blaring and cell phones alerting people in virtually every corner of the country to enter shelters as air defenses swung into action.
At least a dozen salvos from Iran were reported Friday, despite the U.S. and Israel saying for days that the Islamic Republic’s offensive capacities have been all but sapped by almost three weeks of joint strikes in Iran.
Debris from missile interceptions rained down on a number of communities, including in Rehovot, just south of Tel Aviv, where images showed a home on fire. The national Magen David Adom rescue agency said it was transporting a man and a woman, both about 70 years old, “in mild condition with suspected blast injuries,” to a local hospital after that impact.
The MDA shared an image of first responders running to the scene of a fire in a residential area in Petah Tiqva, east of Tel Aviv, too.
A CBS News producer in Tel Aviv said there were “almost non-stop missiles from Iran towards all districts” on Friday, as well as new drone launches by Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.
