Three people were lightly injured after an Iranian cluster missile struck central Israel on Thursday morning, capping a wave of missile and rocket fire that also sent residents in the north rushing to shelters overnight and into the morning.
Air raid sirens sounded twice across central Israel after consecutive Iranian barrages. The first salvo was intercepted without causing damage or injuries.

In the second barrage, an Iranian cluster missile, which disperses smaller munitions, hit a building in the Arab city of Kafr Qasem. The Magen David Adom ambulance service said that three people were lightly wounded in the strike. Footage from the scene showed extensive damage and overturned cars.
The Iranian fire followed a night of continued attacks from Hezbollah, which launched missiles toward central Israel and kept up rocket fire into the north through the night and into Thursday morning.
Sirens sounded in Safed and nearby communities, where an 11-year-old girl suffered cardiac arrest during the alarms. Her condition was reported as serious.
