Eight Killed, Several Injured as Iran Launches Missiles Towards Israel
No fewer than eight people have lost their lives in a devastating terror attack in Israel.
Israel’s national emergency medical service, Magen David Adom, confirmed that the attack occurred on Tuesday.
The service reported that several others were injured after missiles were fired in Jaffa, south of Tel Aviv.
The two terrorists who carried out the attack were “neutralized,” according to police.
Medics are currently treating several casualties, including unconscious victims.
Reports indicate that emergency services are responding to a shooting incident on Jerusalem (Quds) Street in Jaffa, near a light rail station.
Magen David Adom ambulance service confirmed that multiple people were injured in what appears to be an attack.
Earlier, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, stated that he had convened a national security team, alongside the Vice President, to discuss Iranian plans to launch an imminent missile attack against Israel.
“We discussed how the United States is prepared to help Israel defend against these attacks and protect American personnel in the region,” Biden said.
