A Hezbollah rocket has wounded six people in the town of Shfar'am in northern Israel.
The MDA reported that six people were evacuated for medical treatment. One woman who was trapped under falling debris was declared dead of her wounds shortly after the attack.
MDA EMT Hamza Al Hija stated: "We arrived quickly at the scene and began searching the 4-storey building. On the top floor we found a female aged about 50 with a multi-system injury, she was unconscious with no pulse and not breathing, and we pronounced her death at the scene. In the lower floors and in nearby buildings we located about 10 mildly injured casualties who walked out of the buildings, and who were treated by MDA teams. All were evacuated in mild condition to hospital."
Rami Swaid, a United Hatzalah EMT at the scene, reported: "Tragically, a woman was killed after a rocket directly hit a residential building. Additionally, we provided assistance at the scene to over twenty residents of the building in various conditions - some were evacuated by United Hatzalah ambulances that arrived at the scene. United Hatzalah Psychotrauma teams are providing support to those experiencing trauma."
The rocket struck a four-story apartment building. Rambam Hospital stated that thirty people were admitted for treatment following the attack, including an additional woman and child with serious injuries.
The rocket started a fire in the building and caused significant structural damage. The Israel Police have reported that additional direct hits were confirmed in and near Shfar'am, and that significant numbers of emergency responders are rushing to the scenes to find and rescue anyone else within the damaged buildings.
