At least 23 Iranian missiles fired at Israel in afternoon barrage, wounding at least 10

At least 23 heavy Iranian missiles were fired at Israel on Friday afternoon, causing extensive damage in Tel Aviv and wounding at least 10 in Haifa, two of them seriously, after six missiles managed to penetrate Israel’s air defenses, Iranian and Israeli media reports said.

Video footage showed a missile causing a big explosion in Haifa, with Israel’s Channel 13 saying there are fears of a possible leakage of dangerous material.

Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service reported two people injured by shrapnel, including a 16-year-old in serious condition.

"MDA medics and paramedics are providing medical treatment and are taking a 16-year-old boy to the hospital in serious condition, with shrapnel in his upper body, and a 54-year-old man in moderate condition with a shrapnel injury to his lower limbs," the MDA said in a statement, without specifying their location.
