Iranian missiles hit Israel: 23 injured in Haifa, woman dies of heart attack in Karmiel

The attack forced thousands of people to rush to bomb shelters.

The three seriously wounded in Haifa included a 16-year-old boy who sustained shrapnel wounds to his upper body, and two men, aged 54 and 40, who sustained wounds to their lower bodies, according to the Magen David Adom ambulance service, reported The Times of Israel.

The MDA said the other 20 people sustained minor injuries.

The deceased woman was identified as Yelena Sadowski

The woman, who died after suffering a heart attack, was identified as 51-year-old Yelena Sadowski.

She collapsed while she was running towards a shelter amid missile sirens.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said the missiles hit a mosque in Israel.

He wrote on X: "The Iranian regime launched a missile attack on Haifa and struck the Al-Jarina Mosque in the Wadi Nisnas neighborhood. The missile attack injured Muslim clerics who were in the mosque."

He said: "The Iranian regime is targeting Muslim, Christian, and Jewish civilians, as well as civilian sites. These are war crimes."

Missiles hit the Daycare centre

The Israel Defense Forces shared a video on its X page showing a daycare centre in Beersheba hit by an Iranian cluster bomb.

Sharing the footage, IDF said: "This is footage from the moment an Iranian ballistic missile hit a children’s center in southern Israel."

The world stands on the edge of catastrophe: Anotnio Guterres

The world stands on the edge of catastrophe, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres warned on Friday, as Israel’s military campaign inside Iran intensifies and strikes on nuclear facilities threaten to trigger a catastrophe.

In an address to the UN Security Council on Friday, Mr. Guterres made an urgent plea for de-escalation, calling the spiralling confrontation a defining moment for the future of global security.

“We are not drifting toward crisis – we are racing toward it,” he said.

“This is a moment that could shape the fate of nations…the expansion of this conflict could ignite a fire no one can control,” he warned.

Widespread panic, destruction

The Secretary-General’s remarks came amid a mounting civilian toll in both Israel and Iran, and as several nuclear sites in Iran have come under direct military assault.

Over 100 targets have been struck across Iran, including military and nuclear infrastructure such as the Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities and the Khondab heavy water reactor.

Iranian officials report over 224 civilian deaths, with some estimates twice as high. More than 2,500 have been injured reportedly – while major cities like Tehran have seen mass displacements, fuel shortages and widespread panic.

Iran has responded with its own barrage of missile strikes on Israel, hitting cities such as Tel Aviv, Haifa and Beersheba. Critical civilian sites, including the Soroka Medical Center and the Weizmann research institute, have been damaged. Twenty-four Israelis are confirmed dead, with more than 900 injured.
