According to reports from rescue forces, following a direct hit near a parked bus, there are three injured people: a 50-year-old in serious condition, an 80-year-old with minor injuries - both from shrapnel in the face - and a panicked victim.

The seriously injured person is the bus driver, who was evacuated by helicopter to Ziv Hospital.

Police and firefighters are working at four different crash sites in the city. At one of the main sites, a rocket was detected falling near a bus.

MDA emergency medical technician Taysir Subah said: "We arrived at a wounded man, about 50 years old, who was hit in the head by a missile fragment while he was near the bus. We provided him with medical treatment that included bandaging and stopping the bleeding, and we continue to make sure that there are no other wounded in the area. When an alarm sounds, you must obey the Home Front Command's instructions and enter a protected area, it saves lives.".

Police forces, including Northern District police, Border Guard soldiers, and Israel Police saboteurs, are operating at the scene.
