Iran launched another wave of missiles towards Israel that caused rocket sirens to sound throughout the country early Monday morning, with five people killed and at least 87 wounded individuals being treated by United Hatzalah in three different areas in central Israel.

Four of the victims were two women and two men, all around the age of 70, Israel's emergency medical service Magen David Adom (MDA) said. Later on Sunday morning, another person was reported dead. One person is in serious condition, five others are in moderate condition, and the other 68 are in mild condition.

One of the victims was named as 61-year-old Michael (Miki) Nahum, a father of four.

Ballina Ashkenazi and Efrat Saranga, 61, were also killed in the attack. 

Rescue and search operations are still ongoing at 2 of the 4 sites to locate any additional casualties, MDA noted. 

Explosions were heard throughout Israel's center, with reports of some missiles making impact. The Petah Tikva municipality announced that a building in the city was hit by a missile. Police have stated that there are two impact sites in Tel Aviv.

Zaki Heller, MDA spokesman, told Udi Segal and Anat Davidov on 103FM radio that it is possible that being in a safe room would not have prevented the victim's deaths, although would being in a protected space significantly improves the chance of survival.

"When a missile hits a structure directly, it is possible that even the protected room here will not withstand such a missile," he shared. "We are going apartment by apartment and making sure that there are no casualties, the main event - two buildings with 20 floors, the scans in each of the apartments. We treated 43 casualties."

He added: "The defense guidelines save lives, we see this at each of the scenes. People who were in the protected areas were saved. When a missile hits a structure directly, it is possible that even the protected room here will not withstand such a missile. We must remember, even people who do not have a mahmad (safe room) and do not have a shelter, must get to the most protected place there is because it saves lives." 

The IDF's Home Front Command issued a second warning, minutes earlier, overnight between Sunday night and Monday morning for civilians in Israel to stay in protected spaces.

MDA issued a statement saying their teams are en route to reported sites where missile impacts were made. The organization said that they received four reports of missile impacts. Teams have at least treated and evacuated 29 people. Three are in moderate condition, while the other 26 are in light condition, and treated others who were suffering from anxiety. Searches are being conducted by MDA teams for additional casualties, the organization said.

Several people were also wounded in Haifa from the missiles, KAN reported.

Houthis in Yemen reportedly fired missile around the same time

Sirens also sounded around the same time due to a missile launched by the Houthis in Yemen, KAN added.

The IDF also asked the public not to publish or share locations and records of attacks, as "the enemy monitors these records in order to improve its striking capabilities."

Shortly after Iran's newest barrage of missiles, drone intrusion sirens sounded in Israel's north, which included Rosh HaNikra.

Police were also notified of foreign media outlets documenting and photographing the exact locations of where missile impacts were in Israel's coastal district, where they are conducting scans and handling the incident.

This is a developing story.
