The attack came just hours after a rocket wounded five people, one seriously, in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area.
Four people were lightly hurt by shards of glass on Tuesday morning, when a window shattered during a Hezbollah rocket attack on central Israel, according to the Magen David Adom emergency medical service.
Five launches were detected, some of which were intercepted, according to the Israel Defense Forces. Impacts were detected, the military said.
The attack came just hours after Hezbollah terror rockets fired at the Tel Aviv metropolitan area wounded five people, one of them seriously.
According to a preliminary investigation, a surface-to-surface missile from Lebanon broke into several pieces after being intercepted at high altitude on Monday night. One of the pieces impacted outside the Ayalon Mall in Ramat Gan, a suburb of Tel Aviv, causing a fire.
A 54-year-old woman was seriously wounded in the attack, while four other people sustained moderate to light wounds, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency response group. All five victims were evacuated to Rabin Medical Center’s Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tikvah.
A video posted to social media by Israel Hayom showed a man in Bnei Brak being hit by a car after running into the road during the siren triggered by the attack.
Earlier on Monday evening, an Israeli civilian was killed and 30 were wounded when a Hezbollah rocket hit a three-story building in the northern city of Shfar’am.
The fatality was identified as Safaa Awad, a local educator and a mother of four.
Among the wounded were a four-year-old boy and a 21-year-old woman in serious condition, according to Haifa’s Rambam Medical Center.
According to a security officer cited by Israel’s Channel 12 News, Awad had been in a reinforced shelter at the time of the impact. The door had been blown off its hinges, and Awad was found inside with “severe” shrapnel injuries, according to the report.
