A migrant worker was killed by shrapnel in central Israel late Wednesday when an Iranian cluster-style missile struck the town of Adanim in the Sharon region.
The Magen David Adom emergency service said medics and paramedics found the man, about 30, with severe shrapnel wounds and no signs of life, and pronounced him dead at the scene.

A home in the town of Jaljulia, also in the Sharon region, was struck by an Iranian cluster munition, causing damage to the building but no casualties.
Missile debris also struck an eight-story residential building in Tel Aviv. Searches at the scene found one person with minor smoke inhalation injuries.
Miriam, who lives in the building, told ynet that residents went down to the shelter after receiving an alert. “There was a warning. We went down to the shelter, and while we were still on the stairs the siren sounded,” she said.
“Just as we had more or less closed the shelter door, there was a huge boom. We thought it wasn’t our building, that it was nearby. Then, after a few minutes, some neighbors went outside to check the building, and we saw everything outside covered with shattered glass and fallen shutters, cars that were damaged and a hole on the seventh floor. Other than that, everyone is OK. There was no panic.”
Earlier in the day, sirens sounded near communities along the Gaza border and across northern and central Israel following launches from Lebanon.
Alerts were activated in the Upper Galilee, including Metula, Manara, Kfar Yuval and Dovev, as well as in Kiryat Shmona and surrounding areas. Additional sirens were heard in the Sharon region and parts of the Shephelah.
Earlier still, sirens were triggered in Kiryat Shmona over what was described as a drone infiltration from Lebanon.
Interceptions were reported in the Sharon and Galilee regions, while some projectiles fell in open areas. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

Separately, the IDF said it killed Hassan Ali Marwan in Beirut overnight, identifying him as the commander of Hezbollah’s Imam Hussein Division. The military said Marwan had assumed the role six days earlier after his predecessor was killed.
According to the military, Marwan previously served as the division’s operations chief and was responsible for coordination with senior Hezbollah figures and Iran’s Quds Force. It said he also oversaw the launch of missiles, drones and rockets toward Israel and Israeli forces operating in southern Lebanon.
