About 30 people were wounded early Friday when a missile fired from Iran struck homes in the northern village of Zarzir near Nazareth, causing heavy damage to several buildings and setting vehicles on fire.
Magen David Adom said one woman was wounded in moderate condition after being hit by shrapnel in her back, while the others were lightly wounded by flying glass or suffered shock.

The woman was taken to Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, while the other victims were evacuated to HaEmek Medical Center in Afula and the Italian Hospital in Nazareth.
Air raid sirens sounded in Zarzir shortly before 2:30 a.m., followed moments later by reports of a direct impact.
Fire and Rescue Services said seven firefighting teams were dispatched to the scene after the missile struck a residential structure. The blast damaged nearby homes and sparked a localized fire that crews later extinguished. Officials said there were no concerns about people trapped in the buildings.
Scene of the strike
Zarzir council head Atef Grifat said heavy damage was recorded at the site and that one of the houses was “completely destroyed.”
The strike came during a night of repeated alerts in northern Israel after the IDF detected multiple launches from Iran toward the region. Sirens also sounded following rocket fire from Lebanon.
