A man was killed this morning (Sunday) after a direct hit on a vehicle at Kibbutz Misgav Am. According to initial assessments at the scene, a rocket struck three vehicles—two were empty, while a third had a person inside who was trapped. His death was later pronounced at the scene.

Alongside the deadly strike on the vehicle, damage to homes in the kibbutz was also reported. One house sustained a direct hit while its residents were inside the safe room—and despite the force of the impact there were no casualties.

Upon receiving the report of the strike, emergency and rescue forces were dispatched to the scene. Fire and Rescue Services stated: "Firefighting and rescue teams are on their way to the scene of a direct hit in the Misgav Am moshav". It was further noted that "According to an initial report from the field, there is a vehicle fully engulfed in flames. The firefighters are prepared to carry out extinguishing operations and rapid searches to locate and rescue a person trapped inside the vehicle".

Large Israel Police forces are operating at the scene, including officers from the Northern District, Border Police troops, and police sappers, alongside additional rescue forces, in order to bring the incident under control and carry out life-saving actions.

A third wave of launches from Iran within less than an hour: at 8:20 a.m., sirens sounded in the Negev and around Gaza, after additional launches from Iran were detected shortly beforehand. According to reports, one missile was intercepted, while some of the launches were intercepted and others fell in open areas in line with policy.

Earlier this morning, sirens sounded in central Israel, the Shfela, the Sharon, the Jerusalem area, and Judea, with residents reporting explosions in several locations.

Meanwhile, the IDF began overnight a wave of strikes in Tehran. According to an initial statement, "The IDF has at this time begun a wave of strikes against the Iranian terror regime's infrastructure in Tehran".

In addition, ground operations in Lebanon continue: the IDF Spokesperson said that Division 36 forces raided Hezbollah military structures and located numerous weapons. It was further stated that 7th Brigade forces eliminated more than 10 terrorists who posed an immediate threat. The Golani Brigade's combat team located a building that served as a gathering point for terrorists, in which "numerous weapons were found in the area, including rockets, weapons, and magazines used by the organization's terrorists to advance and carry out terror plans against IDF forces and the State of Israel".
