Tel Aviv, June 14 (NationPress) A tragic event unfolded on Saturday as two individuals lost their lives and 34 others sustained injuries due to a missile assault on residential structures in Israel, amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran. The Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency medical service confirmed the fatalities following a barrage of ballistic missiles fired by Iran.
The MDA reported that the strikes inflicted significant damage, causing trauma as medical teams rushed in to deliver critical care and transport the injured to local hospitals. “MDA teams provided life-saving medical treatment and evacuated 21 injured individuals to Wolfson, Sheba Tel Hashomer, and Shamir-Assaf Harofeh hospitals. Among the casualties: a woman around 60 was rescued without signs of life, a man around 45 was in critical condition while undergoing CPR and was later pronounced dead, a woman around 60 was seriously injured, two people were moderately injured, and 16 suffered minor injuries from blast trauma and flying debris,” the agency stated in an official report.
The MDA further noted that several individuals experiencing anxiety were also evacuated from the missile strike site.
In a different incident within the Gush Dan area, the MDA reported treating and evacuating another 34 individuals to hospitals.
These included a woman around 60 in critical condition sent to Beilinson Hospital, a man around 65 in serious condition transported to Sheba Medical Center, a woman around 50 in moderate condition admitted to Sheba, a man around 50 in moderate condition taken to Ichilov Hospital, and 30 others treated for minor injuries due to blasts and contusions.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that Iran had initiated a renewed wave of missile assaults on Israeli territory.
As the situation unfolds, the IDF Home Front Command has advised residents to remain near bomb shelters, even if they may exit them, until further updates are provided. Sirens and emergency alerts remain active in multiple regions.
This latest missile attack signifies a severe escalation in the hostilities between Iran and Israel, following weeks of increasing tensions.
