Yisrael Aloni, 73, and Eti Cohen Angel, 74, killed after an Iranian missile hit Rishon Lezion and Ramat Gan; over 60 others were wounded, including seven IDF soldiers.
Yisrael Aloni, 73, was one of two people killed early Saturday morning when an Iranian missile struck Rishon Lezion.
Though a siren sounded before impact, there was no prior warning from the Home Front Command, and Aloni was fatally struck outside of a protected area.
In Ramat Gan, 74-year-old Eti Cohen Angel was killed in the same missile attack. A mother of four daughters, she was remembered by her daughter Nurit Cohen-Elstein as “a smiling and beautiful woman, a good soul.”
“Her partner was also injured yesterday and is currently sedated and on a ventilator at Tel Hashomer,” she added. “It’s very difficult.”
In addition to the two fatalities, over 60 others were injured by the missile. The IDF also confirmed that seven soldiers sustained light injuries from the same strike in central Israel.
