The intercepted missiles caused considerable damage when their debris fell onto the city, igniting fires and damaging civil infrastructure.
Among the injured are a one-month-old boy, who is currently in stable condition, and a 17-year-old boy, who remains hospitalized in moderate condition.
The incident also injured three women, aged 32, 36, and 56, and a 68-year-old man. One of the women is in moderate condition and has been hospitalized.
