At least 14 people were lightly wounded across Israel on Thursday after a series of attacks from Iran and Lebanon, as repeated volleys struck central and northern Israel.
According to authorities, a cluster missile fired from Iran in the latest salvo left at least 11 impact sites across central Israel, including a reported direct hit by a submunition on a home in Tel Aviv, a car set ablaze in Ganei Tikva and additional strikes in Holon.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service said a woman in her 40s was lightly wounded by shrapnel and a 26-year-old man was lightly hurt by the blast in Tel Aviv. An 8-year-old child, a 10-year-old child and a 40-year-old man were treated for shock and evacuated to the city's Sourasky Medical Center.
The attacks marked the seventh wave of Iranian fire since the morning hours, with air raid sirens sounding repeatedly across the center and north as residents were sent scrambling to shelters. After about an hour, an eighth round of sirens was set off across the center. There were reports of interceptor debris in the central city of Modi’in, but no damage or injuries were reported.

Separately, sirens warning of rocket and missile fire sounded in the northern coastal city of Acre and across the Haifa Bay area following rocket launches from Lebanon. Most incoming projectiles were intercepted by air defenses, while the rest landed in open areas. Another rocket siren went off shortly after in Sasa and Meron in the Upper Galilee.
Earlier in the day, an Iranian cluster missile, which disperses smaller munitions, hit a building in the Arab city of Kafr Qasem in central Israel, lightly wounding six people in strikes on the center, according to Magen David Adom. Five of the wounded were in Kafr Qasem, including a man and a woman in their 50s who were hurt by the blast wave, and one other person was lightly wounded in Shaar Shomron.

In later barrages, the IDF said it intercepted additional volleys toward the center, while strikes and interception debris caused damage in several areas. In the north, a bus driver was lightly wounded by the blast wave from a cluster munition strike in the Haifa Bay area, and another person was treated for shock after debris hit a shopping mall, damaging several stores.
Separately, two people were lightly injured when a drone struck the town of Liman in the Western Galilee after alerts warning of suspected drone infiltration from Lebanon sounded across parts of the north.

The Iranian fire followed a night of continued attacks from Hezbollah, which launched missiles toward the center and kept up rocket fire into the north through the night and into Thursday morning.
Sirens sounded in Safed and nearby communities, where an 11-year-old girl suffered cardiac arrest during the alarms. Her condition was reported as serious.
