JERUSALEM -- A woman was killed and 13 others were injured on Saturday night when a missile launched from Iran struck a two-story building in the Arab city of Tamra in northern Israel, according to Israel's national emergency service, Magen David Adom.
A barrage of missiles was fired from Iran toward wide areas of northern Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement. According to Israel's Channel 12 News, the attack involved more than 40 missiles.
Following the missile launches, smartphone alerts were issued and sirens were activated in Haifa, the Galilee region, the Sea of Galilee area, and other northern locations, prompting hundreds of thousands of residents to seek shelter.
The IDF stated that, while intercepting the incoming missiles, the Israeli air force was also conducting strikes on military targets in Tehran.
