Among the dead was a 60-year-old woman who was rescued lifeless early this morning during a third wave of attacks after a ballistic missile struck near an apartment building in Rishon Lezion, south of Tel Aviv . A 45-year-old man also died in this attack after being evacuated in critical condition.

This same bombing left two other people with moderate injuries; a 60-year-old woman was seriously injured ; and 16 more suffered minor injuries from trauma caused by the blast and shrapnel, according to emergency services. In total, more than 10 homes were destroyed , according to firefighters in Rishon Lezion, where destroyed buildings were visible.

The bombing left us without electricity for a few hours, but now it's back on. This is what we have to live with in this country," Lion , an Israeli resident of the affected area of ​​Rishon LeZion , told EFE.
