A 27-year-old woman was killed on Tuesday by shrapnel from a rocket fired from Lebanon by Hezbollah, as Iran and its regional ally stepped up attacks on Israel, emergency services said.
The woman, identified by Israeli media as Nuriel Dubin, was struck near a roadside in northern Israel after sirens sounded. Paramedics said she suffered severe multi-system injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other people were lightly wounded in the same incident.
The attack formed part of near-continuous rocket and drone fire from Hezbollah toward Israeli territory, mainly targeting the north but contributing to broader nationwide alerts.
Iranian missile fire hits central Israel
Separate Iranian missile barrages struck central Israel, including the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, with impacts reported in Tel Aviv, Bnei Brak and Petah Tikva, according to Israeli authorities and local media.
Emergency responders reported multiple আহত civilians, mostly from blast effects and shrapnel, as missiles or interception debris struck residential areas. Damage was reported to buildings, including apartments in Petah Tikva.
While most projectiles were intercepted, some penetrated Israel’s air defense systems, underscoring the scale and intensity of the ongoing exchanges between Israel and Iran.
Escalation in multi-front conflict
Tuesday’s attacks are part of an escalating confrontation involving direct Iranian missile fire and sustained Hezbollah launches from Lebanon, opening multiple fronts against Israel.
Iran has in recent weeks fired ballistic missiles, including cluster munitions, at Israeli cities, causing civilian casualties and infrastructure damage, while Hezbollah has maintained near-daily rocket fire along the northern border.
Israel has responded with airstrikes on Iranian and Hezbollah targets, as the conflict shows little sign of de-escalation.
Civilian toll rises amid continued barrages
Israeli emergency services said civilians continue to bear the brunt of the attacks, with injuries reported across central and northern regions.
Authorities have repeatedly urged residents to follow Home Front Command instructions and seek shelter immediately upon sirens, as short warning times and heavy warheads increase the risk of casualties.
The latest strikes highlight the widening geographic scope of the conflict, with major population centers increasingly exposed to missile fire
