A spokesman for the Magen David Adom Ambulance Organization reported that a man and a woman in their 70s were killed as a result of an Iranian missile strike that targeted the Ramat Gan area.
The organization’s spokesman, Zacky Heller, explained that ambulance teams were deployed in several locations affected by the missile attack after midnight throughout Tel Aviv, where “victims were found in three different locations.”
In describing the scene in the Bnei Brak area, a member of the emergency crews said: “We saw devastation in the streets… We found one of our organization’s paramedics who was fully conscious and with minor injuries to his hand as a result of shrapnel. We provided him with medical treatment and transferred him to the hospital, and his condition is stable.”
For his part, the organization’s general director, Eli Ben, described the site as “a difficult and painful scene resulting from a direct hit on a residential building,” and added: “Our teams moved very quickly in several simultaneous locations to provide medical care to the injured, but unfortunately, paramedics at the Ramat Gan site were forced to announce the death of an elderly man and woman.”
In two other locations, the organization stated that it provided treatment to two people who were slightly injured by shrapnel, in addition to treating a number of people who suffered from panic (shock) and other civilians who were injured while heading to shelters to take shelter from the bombing.
