Tensions escalated dramatically in northern Israel after a community center in Arab al-Aramshe was struck by an anti-tank guided missile, resulting in multiple casualties. Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics reported a “large number of casualties” following the attack, which was claimed by the terrorist group Hizbullah. The missile strike is part of a broader assault involving both missiles and explosive-laden drones launched from Lebanese territory.
Upon receiving the distress call, emergency response teams, including senior MDA medic Wahid Ali, rushed to the scene. Initial assessments revealed seven individuals wounded at the site, with injuries ranging from moderate to serious. “Two of them are in serious condition, one is moderate, and four other men in their thirties were fully conscious and suffered shrapnel wounds,” Ali reported. The victims were promptly evacuated to the hospital for further treatment.
As updates came in, the total number of those affected rose to 13, with one person critically injured, three more in serious condition, one moderately hurt, and eight others with light injuries. The community, located along the northern border, was targeted with at least four anti-tank guided missiles in a short period, with the first missile causing significant damage and casualties at the community center.
