Injuries Reported in Waves of Attacks in Central Israel 

IFCJ Canada  |  March 26, 2026

Sirens across Jerusalem and other parts of central Israel went off last Thursday as Iran launched missile barrages. Three more waves followed this for the next three hours. In the wake of these attacks, The Jerusalem Post reports that shrapnel from the third wave severely damaged a building in Rehovot. Rescue teams and first responders were on the scene as additional barrages damaged more buildings and injured more people. Fortunately, no fatalities were reported. 

An elderly woman was taken to Sheba Medical Center after suffering a head injury while heading to a sheltered area, MDA stated, while United Hatzalah announced that an elderly man was injured by falling shrapnel, providing medical care to him at the scene in Rehovot.   

An additional piece of shrapnel fell during a later missile barrage, at approximately 1 p.m., causing further damage to another Rehovot apartment, IFRA announced. 

Later in the day, a further wave of sirens and falling shrapnel caused a woman to suffer injuries from falling shrapnel in Rehovot, MDA announced. She was transferred to Kaplan Medical Center for further treatment. 

In the same barrage, shrapnel fell on a residence in the central Israeli city, causing a fire on the second floor of the block, IFRA stated. 

United Hatzalah also provided medical treatment to two others for injuries related to shrapnel falling, and several others for panic-related causes. 

Police also reported shrapnel injuring two people in the Judean Foothills. More were injured on their way to bomb shelters.  

IFCJ Canada and our generous supporters pray that God continues to bless His people with protection, strength, and care during this time of crisis.
