ISTANBUL (AA) - At least 88 people were injured following an Iranian missile attack Saturday on the southern Israeli town of Arad near the Dead Sea, according to the emergency service Magen David Adom.
The tally includes 10 in serious condition, 19 moderately injured, 55 lightly injured and four panic victims, it said.
The strike also damaged at least 20 buildings in Arad.
Hostilities in the region have escalated since US and Israeli strikes on Iran began Feb. 28, with Tehran retaliating with repeated drone and missile strikes targeting Israel and Gulf countries hosting US military assets.
