Six killed and 166 injured in overnight rocket strikes in the Dan Region and Shfela
On Sunday at approximately 2:30 a.m., MDA’s 101 emergency dispatch received reports of multiple casualties following rocket impacts in the Dan Region and Shfela. Large MDA forces, including ambulances, Mobile Intensive Care Units, and medics on motorcycles were immediately dispatched to the scene
MDA teams provided life-saving medical treatment and evacuated 166 injured individuals to hospitals, including: 6 in serious condition, 22 in moderate condition, and 138 with minor injuries. The casualties were transported to Beilinson, Sheba-Tel Hashomer, Shamir-Assaf Harofeh, Wolfson, and Ichilov Hospitals.
MDA paramedics had to pronounce the deaths of six victims: three women, approximately 80, 60, and 50 years old; a young man in his 20s; a 10-year-old boy; and an 8-year-old girl, all of whom were rescued from the rubble of a collapsed building.
MDA Deputy Director of Community Services, Paramedic Prof. Eli Jaffe, who arrived at the scene in the Shfela region, said:
“When we arrived with large forces, we saw several buildings that had been struck directly, along with widespread damage and shattered glass throughout the surrounding area. Civilians on the scene initially rescued some of the injured from the buildings to the street, and later, Fire and Rescue teams and Home Front Command forces extricated additional casualties.
We set up a treatment area near the scene where we treated all the injured. We conducted medical assessments and provided first aid, and with the help of ambulances and Mobile Intensive Care Units, we evacuated the wounded to the hospital.”
MDA EMT Yosef Kurdi, who treated casualties at the scene in the Dan Region, said:
“Following the heavy rocket barrage, MDA’s 101 emergency dispatch received numerous calls reporting a direct hit to a building in the Dan Region and heavy damage to neighboring structures. Large MDA teams arrived quickly and conducted extensive searches in the impacted 14-story building and surrounding streets. We treated casualties who had been rescued, including a woman in her 60s who suffered critical injuries—we were forced to pronounce her dead at the scene.
The deaths of an 80-year-old woman and a 10-year-old boy were also confirmed on-site. All casualties were taken to a designated casualty collection point we established in a secure location, and from there evacuated to hospitals by ambulance and Mobile Intensive Care Units. Rescue teams worked throughout the night and day and eventually recovered three additional victims who, unfortunately, showed no signs of life and were pronounced dead at the scene.”
