Tel Aviv, Israel – In a disturbing incident yesterday, a woman was injured by shrapnel when a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip fell on Route 4, near Gush Dan and the Shefala region. The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, was given immediate medical treatment by MDA medics and paramedics at the scene before being evacuated to the hospital.

We gave her initial medical aid, which included stopping the bleeding, and then she was taken to the hospital by ambulance.”
In response to the incident, the police have taken immediate action. They are currently investigating the scene where the rocket projectile fell in the Shefela sector on Route 4. The authorities are searching for additional remains to ensure the safety of the public.

The police issued a statement urging residents to prioritize their safety. They advised citizens to remain in protected areas, avoid congregating in vulnerable areas, and refrain from approaching or touching any remains of rockets, as they may contain explosive materials. The public is encouraged to report any findings without delay to the 100 hotline of the Israel Police.
The recent barrage towards Gush Dan and the Shefala region has heightened concerns about the safety of the civilians residing in these areas. As tensions continue to escalate, it becomes imperative for the relevant authorities to prioritize the security of the population and take necessary measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
