At least five people have been injured in an Iranian ballistic missile hit in the Jerusalem area, Magen David Adom (MDA) said on Sunday night.
Israel Police is sweeping the area for missile shrapnel and urges the public to stay area from the site of the strike.
In a public statement, MDA reported, "We observed a fall near a vehicle that sustained extensive damage. We provided initial medical treatment to a 45-year-old man in moderate condition, along with several others who were injured but in light condition. The injured individuals were evacuated to hospitals in the city by MDA ambulances."
MDA initially reported seven injuries in the strike, before revising the number down to five including those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, while Israel Police stated six victims with varying degrees of injury were evacuated from the scene.
Iran increases attack pace after death of Khamenei
The hit occurred after Iran increased its volume and pace of ballistic missile attacks toward Israel early Sunday, with several rounds of siren warnings ringing out across the country one after another in response to the Islamic Republic admitting the death of its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
While the IDF has still not confirmed the volume of missile attacks, anecdotally, the pace of salvos and the volume of booms Sunday morning were unprecedented for this round of fighting and were more comparable to the worst large rounds of attacks in June 2025, some of which involved up to 200 ballistic missiles.
