This is the terrifying moment an Iranian missile lands just yards away from an Israeli woman, who somehow manages to walk away alive.
Footage taken early this morning in the Israeli city of Petah Tikva showed the woman getting out of a dark grey car just before 7am local time.
She was seen using her phone, before looking upwards. Less than a second before the impact of the missile, she could be seen reacting to its approach.
The Israeli woman was thrown to the ground as the missile struck. A large plume of smoke and dust rose through the air.
Somehow, she managed to survive the attack and was seen stumbling away.
Local media reported that the woman did survive the attack, but was seriously injured.
Firefighters in the city are said to still be handling cars on fire and continue searching to ensure there are no people trapped in the rubble.
In Tel Aviv, a man slightly injured by glass shrapnel was evacuated to the Ichilov Hospital.
Footage provided by rescue service Magen David Adom shows damage to residential buildings due to the attack.
Meanwhile, Israel’s military warned the public on Monday morning of another missile barrage coming from Iran, the fourth-such alert of the day.
Israel’s Magen David Adom and Fire and Rescue services said early on Monday that there are several reported sites of Iranian missile hits in the northern city of Haifa.
In one site, four people were slightly injured, including two children. The missile attacks hit residential areas and a factory in the city. The factory was hit by shrapnel from an interception.
It is unclear if all the reported hits were caused by shrapnel from interception or direct hits.
Video footage provided by Magen David Adom of the affected sites show active fire and bombed cars in what appears to be a residential area.
The missile strikes come a day after another attack from Iran also hit a Haifa residential area, killing two people and injuring others.
Two other people remain missing under the rubble caused by Sunday’s strike and their fate is still unknown.
Over in the United Arab Emirates’ capital of Abu Dhabi, authorities said a Ghanaian man suffered wounds from shrapnel after the interception of an Iranian missile over the city’s Musaffah neighbourhood.
That’s near Al Dhafra Air Base, which hosts US forces and has been repeatedly targeted by Iran in the war.
The head of intelligence for Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard was killed Monday in an attack targeting him, Iranian state media said.
Major General Majid Khademi died in the attack, which the Guard blamed on the United States and Israel.
It did not elaborate on where Khademi was killed. However, multiple airstrikes targeted residential areas around Iran’s capital, Tehran, early Monday morning.
Khademi took over for Gen. Mohammad Kazemi, who Israel killed in the 12-day war in June.
The Guard’s intelligence organization wields vast powers within Iran and answers only to the country’s supreme leader. It often has been linked to the detention of Western nationals or those with ties abroad.
It also has been accused of carrying out extraterritorial killings and attacks targeting opponents of the country’s theocracy.
