An individual about 30 years old was killed from rocket shrapnel in northern Israel on Tuesday following a rocket attack in the area, Israel’s emergency medical service Magen David Adom (MDA) said.
MDA added that the person had initially been severely wounded and was given medical treatment by MDA paramedics. However, resuscitation efforts failed, and the paramedics pronounced him dead.
MDA paramedic Yuval Levy and EMTs Noam Wolf and Nadav recounted what they saw upon arrival at the scene.
“Immediately following the red alerts, we received a report of a casualty and headed to the scene. This was a difficult scene; we arrived on the scene and found a 30-year-old male with shrapnel wounds to his upper body. He was unconscious, and we immediately began medical treatment and resuscitation, following which we had to pronounce him dead.”
United Hatzalah EMT Reshef Nuriel recounted his efforts at the scene.
“I performed CPR together with an intensive care ambulance team on a man about 30 years old who, according to bystanders, was hit by rocket shrapnel,” Nuriel said. “Unfortunately, after prolonged resuscitation efforts, he was pronounced dead.”
Earlier on Tuesday, Israeli media reported that the direct hit had occurred in Kibbutz HaGosherim.
Some 10 projectiles cross into Israeli territory
At around 14:53 p.m., multiple rocket sirens sounded in northern Israel.
The IDF later said that some 10 projectiles had crossed into Israel from Lebanon, of which most had been intercepted.
IDF artillery forces fired at the source from which the launches had been detected, the military added.
The military also noted that earlier on Tuesday, Israel Air Force jets had struck Hezbollah terror infrastructure in the Jibchit area of southern Lebanon.
At around 15:51 p.m., several drone intrusion alerts sounded in the area of the Galilee Panhandle.
Israeli media later reported that following the fall of projectiles in northern Israel, several fires had erupted in the area.
This is a developing story.
