MDA:

MDA medics and paramedics are providing medical treatment and taking a 40-year-old man to the hospital in serious condition, a 16-year-old boy in serious condition with shrapnel in his upper body, and a 54-year-old man in moderate condition with a shrapnel injury to his lower limbs. MDA teams are scanning additional scenes. 
MDA emergency medical technician Ariel Danilovsky said:
"When I arrived on the street, I saw extensive destruction in the building whose parking lot was hit by the missile and in nearby buildings. Several injured people were on the street, conscious and suffering from bleeding injuries from shrapnel and bruises on their bodies. Together with other MDA teams, we provided them with medical treatment and evacuated them to hospitals. Large MDA forces are still at the scene and are working with the rescue forces to ensure that there are no additional casualties and to provide medical treatment if necessary."
MDA paramedic Ahmed Zidan said:
"I was at home and immediately after receiving the alert from the Home Front Command, I entered a protected area with my family. A few minutes later, we heard a very loud noise and felt the blast. When I left the protected area, I saw that the windows in my house had broken and a lot of glass had shattered. I reported the incident to the MDA 101 hotline, and I went to the scene, which was just a few dozen meters away from me with an intensive care unit that I was assigned to as an MDA driver. I saw heavy smoke and extensive destruction in the building whose parking lot next to us had been hit by the missile. A boy about 16 years old and a man in his 50s were walking around the area suffering from severe shrapnel and blast injuries. I began medical treatment and, while additional MDA forces arrived at the scene, I urgently evacuated the 2 seriously injured people to the hospital."

"We provided assistance to 5 victims in various situations who were evacuated by ambulance to Rambam Hospital in Haifa. Extensive damage was caused to office buildings and searches are still being conducted to locate additional victims. United Hatzalah resilience teams assisted and are assisting victims of the panic."

United Hatzalah reminds you to act according to the Home Front Command's safety procedures, and to enter protected areas when an alarm sounds and remain there until an update is issued stating that you can leave. Exiting the protected area will only be possible after receiving explicit instructions.

  1. We are in a tough time. The attacks in Tamra and the mosque show that they do not distinguish between our citizens.
    We will all win together. And most importantly, a speedy recovery to everyone.

  2. Friends on all the TV channels have already shown the location, it's really a wasted attempt to hide when all the networks have cameras that show everything.
