Four Wounded From Rocket Shrapnel in Gush Dan

After three days of quiet, a rocket salvo was fired towards the Dan Bloc and the Shefelah. Sirens were heard in Kiryat Ono, Or Yehudah, Rishon Letziyon, Ramat Gan, Holon, Azur, Petach Tikvah, Ganei Tikvah, Givat Shmuel, Ramat Hasharon, Tel Aviv, Bnei Brak, Palmachim, and Beit Dagan. Rockets were also fired towards Ashdod and the Gaza Perimeter. Nine interceptions were reported.

Magen David Adom reported that medics and paramedics treated two women injured by shrapnel fragments, including a 30 year old woman in moderate condition and a lightly injured 40-year-old woman. They were both evacuated to Ichilov hospital. In addition, Magen David Adom teams treated a number of people who were lightly injured on their way to a safe area.

Ala Samara, a paramedic at Ichud Hatzalah who treated one of the wounded, said that “the wounded woman was in a private car when the shrapnel hit. We gave her initial medical treatment which included stopping the bleeding and bandaging. She was then evacuated in an ambulance to the hospital for continued treatment at the hospital with her condition currently defined as moderate.”
