First responders said Iranian missile fire killed a woman in Tel Aviv on Saturday, February 28, the first confirmed fatality in Israel since attacks began earlier in the day.

“Paramedics have confirmed the death of a woman in her 40s” who had severe injuries, Israel’s emergency service Magen David Adom said, after an Iranian missile hit “the Tel Aviv city center,” according to a senior officer in a video shared by the army.

It was the first confirmed death since Iran began launching missiles at Israel in response to a wave of US-Israeli attacks against the Islamic republic early Saturday.

Agence France-Presse (AFP) images from Tel Aviv showed firefighters and police forces at the site of the impact, on a street flanked by residential buildings whose facades were destroyed by blasts. Firemen extinguished the flames from fires that broke out in the surrounding area while first responders evacuated the injured. The Israeli emergency medical service said its teams had taken 20 injured people to hospital.

Hours later, the Israeli military said another wave of missiles prompted air raid sirens in several areas across the country.

A military statement said the air forces were “operating to intercept and strike.” According to police, part of either the missile or the interceptor hit the Jerusalem area, with no immediate reports of any casualties.

Early Sunday, the military said its forces in northern Israel had intercepted a drone “launched from Iran,” the fourth interception reported in about three hours.

Throughout the evening, AFP journalists reported loud blasts around Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank, as Israel’s aerial defense system shot down barrages of missiles. The military said Saturday evening that “several points of impact” were reported throughout Israel.

Speaking from one point of impact, Israeli police spokesman Dean Elsdunne said that first responders were going from building to building to check for damage and injuries.
