MDA Deputy Director of the Ayalon Region, Paramedic Rami Meushar, MDA Paramedic Katya Korshenbaum, and MDA EMT Shimon Farash reported:
"Immediately after the siren, MDA’s 101 dispatch received numerous calls about a rocket strike near private homes. We arrived with large forces and encountered extensive destruction to several buildings. Some of the injured were trapped under the rubble; others were walking wounded.
A woman in her 60s was rescued unconscious and without vital signs, a man around 45 was transported while being resuscitated, a woman was seriously injured, and 16 others were treated for mild to moderate injuries. This was a difficult and complex scene, and we are continuing to search to ensure no one remains trapped."
