Firefighting and rescue teams responded to multiple locations in Shoham and Rishon LeZion, conducting searches of buildings and surrounding areas.
Several impact sites were reported in central Israel on Monday following Iran’s latest missilebarrage, Israel Fire and Rescue Services said.
According to initial reports, 10 locations across the country were damaged by intercepted missile shrapnel or cluster munitions, seven of which were in Rishon Lezion, as well as additional locations on Highway 431, in Lod and in Shoham.
Rescue teams responded to multiple locations in Shoham and Rishon LeZion, conducting searches of buildings and surrounding areas. “At the end, concerns about trapped individuals in the locations were ruled out,” said Amit Malul Rozenblat, spokesperson for the Central District.

The Shoham Home Front Command Committee said shrapnel fell in a yard, causing property damage.
“Emergency forces are on site handling the event. Residents are requested to stay indoors so as not to hinder security and rescue forces. We will update as soon as possible,” the committee said.
Woman lightly injured in missile strike, MDA says
Magen David Adom (MDA) said medics treated and evacuated a woman in her 30s in mild condition with minor injuries to Shamir-Asaf Harofeh Hospital.
“We arrived at the scene with destruction, smoke, and broken glass. We conducted thorough searches, during which we located a woman who was in the bomb shelter at the time of the missile strike, along with her dog, first responder Sheldon Levin said.
She suffered from anxiety and only minor injuries. There is enormous importance in staying in a protected space when an air raid siren is heard, and I don’t want to imagine what would have happened if she hadn’t been in the shelter. It’s crucial to follow the instructions of the Home Front Command.”
The Israel Police stated that they have sent out teams to dispose of the fallen shrapnel and urged the public not to approach any of the impact sites and not to touch any fragments or interception parts.
After additional sirens, United Hatzalah said its dispatch center received reports of several interceptor missile fragments falling in northern Israel and the Jerusalem area. Medical teams have been dispatched to scan the areas; no injuries have been reported.
