Two Israelis killed, 120 injured in missile attack - IDF

Two Israelis have lost their lives, and more than 120 others have been injured since Operation Roaring Lion started, as confirmed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The first person to die was in an older residential building that had public shelters instead of safe rooms when a missile struck. Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel’s emergency medical service, reported that a woman who was critically injured later died from her wounds a few hours after the attack. A senior officer in a video shared by the army stated, “Paramedics have confirmed the death of a woman in her 40s,” following an Iranian missile strike in the center of Tel Aviv. Marina Bleive, a 68-year-old resident of Tel Aviv, tragically suffocated while trying to reach a shelter on Sunday morning. Her daughter, Aya, recounted, “I started walking, I went outside. [Marina] told me, ‘Go, I’ll come.’ I turned around and saw that she had stopped, and she shouted, ‘Go, don’t wait for me.’… I kept walking, and then the neighbor called me and said that my mom was sitting on the bench and was choking.” After the missile hit Tel Aviv, more than 200 residents were evacuated and placed in three nearby hotels. Inspectors have checked 40 buildings in the area, with only one declared unsafe for living.
