Israel first responders say woman killed after Iran missile attack in Tel Aviv area

  • AFPTV images showed a street flanked by residential buildings whose facades were destroyed by blasts, as well as burnt out cars

TEL AVIV: Israel’s emergency service Magen David Adom said on Saturday that a woman was killed in the Tel Aviv area after Iran fired a barrage of missiles toward Israel.
“Paramedics have confirmed the death of a woman in her 40s with severe injuries,” MDA said.
Earlier on Saturday, MDA said that a woman in a critical condition was among 21 people injured in the Iranian strikes.

 

AFP journalists and Israeli television channels reported first responders and firemen deployed in several parts of Tel Aviv, and physical damage to the city.
AFPTV images showed a street flanked by residential buildings whose facades were destroyed by blasts, as well as burnt out cars.
Firemen extinguished the flames from fires that broke out in the surrounding area while first rescuers evacuated the injured.
Throughout the evening, AFP journalists reported loud blasts in the Tel Aviv area, Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank, as Israel’s aerial defense system shot down barrages of missiles.
The military said Saturday evening that “several points of impact” were reported throughout Israel.
Speaking from one point of impact, Israeli police spokesman Dean Elsdunne said that first responders were going from building to building to check for damages and more injuries.

Iraq hit by total blackout: ministry

  • “The power grid has completely shut down across all Iraqi provinces,” the ministry said
  • Work was underway to gradually restore power

BAGHDAD: Iraq’s electricity ministry said on Wednesday that the entire country had been affected by a blackout, later attributing it to a sudden drop in gas supplies to a key power plant.
“The power grid has completely shut down across all Iraqi provinces,” the ministry said, according to the Iraqi News Agency (INA).
It later announced that a “sudden drop in gas supplies to the Rumaila power plant” in the southern province of Basra led to a rapid loss of 1,900 megawatts, which triggered the outage.
It added that work was underway to gradually restore power.
Iraq has been impacted by the ongoing Middle East war and parts of the country have come under repeated attacks.
