A 10-year-old boy was severely injured in the Negev region of southern Israel by shrapnel from an interceptor missile during Iran's attack on Israel. The incident occurred when the interceptor missile was launched to intercept an Iranian projectile, as reported by Israel's emergency service, Magen David Adom (MDA).
The boy sustained a head injury and was found unconscious at the scene. He was promptly attended to by MDA emergency responders and then transported to a nearby hospital for further medical treatment.
Notably, the MDA had previously stated that there were no reports of injuries resulting directly from Iranian strikes on Israel. This unfortunate event involving the young boy underscores the dangers and repercussions of military conflicts in the region.
As tensions persist in the Middle East, incidents like these serve as stark reminders of the human cost of warfare and the importance of safeguarding civilian lives amidst geopolitical turmoil.
