Israel’s Magen David Adom (MDA) rescue service has reported two people injured by shrapnel, including a 16-year-old in serious condition, after the latest barrage of missiles fired from Iran, AFP reports.

“MDA medics and paramedics are providing medical treatment and are taking a 16-year-old boy to the hospital in serious condition, with shrapnel in his upper body, and a 54-year-old man in moderate condition with a shrapnel injury to his lower limbs,” the MDA said in a statement, without specifying their location.

A military official said that “approximately 20 missiles were launched towards Israel” in this last Iranian salvo.
