Israel’s emergency response service said three people were seriously injured by Iranian strikes overnight across the country, with two “moderately” hurt.
Some 42 people were impacted by shrapnel injuries while another 18 were hurt on their way to shelters, Magen David Adom said in a post on X.

Dr. Shlomi Kodesh, the director of the Soroka Medical Center that was struck overnight, said approximately 40 patients there suffered mostly minor injuries, the majority of which were from broken glass.
There were no reported deaths from the hospital strike.
Kodesh told CNN patients in the urology department — which was directly struck — had been evacuated to the basement a day earlier. Remaining patients at the center were evacuated to other medical facilities on Thursday morning.
Kodesh added that he was “shocked” that a hospital had been hit, and that there was “no prior knowledge or warning the hospital would be struck.”
Iran said it was targeting an Israeli intelligence and command center “near a hospital.”
