Shrapnel from an intercepted Iranian ballistic missile hit at least 15 sites across central Israel on Monday morning, Israeli media reported.

Magen David Adom Director-General Eli Bin said that at least three people were being treated for injuries caused by the shrapnel.

At least one individual was seriously injured and was evacuated to the hospital for treatment of a chest injury caused by shrapnel, MDA confirmed.

However, her condition was later updated to moderate, a spokesperson for Rabin Medical Center said.

Another individual was evacuated to the hospital after being lightly injured by falling shrapnel in the Tel Aviv area, MDA added.

MDA confirmed that emergency services were mobilized to extinguish vehicle fires caused by the shrapnel, posting video footage of their firefighting efforts.
