In the northern city of Karmiel, a 51-year-old woman collapsed and died after suffering a heart attack while inside a shelter.

The Times of Israel also noted the attack.

Eyewitnesses and paramedics described scenes of people bleeding in the streets.

Social media captured rising smoke plumes, broken glass, and stunned civilians reacting to the aftermath.

Ahmed Zidan, an eyewitness, said:

“We heard a very loud noise and felt a blast wave. When I exited the shelter, I saw that the windows in my house were shattered, and there was a lot of broken glass."

Zidan added:

“I saw heavy smoke and massive destruction in the building near the parking area that was hit by the rocket."

Per a spokesperson for the country’s revolutionary guard, Iran said the latest attack targeted “military objectives, defence industries, and command centers” in Israel.
