At least five people were injured in an Iranian ballistic missile fired in the Jerusalem area, Magen David Adom (MDA) announced Sunday evening.

Israeli police are sweeping the area for missile fragments and urging the public to stay away from the strike site.

In a public statement, MDA reported: “We observed a fall near a vehicle that sustained significant damage. We provided first medical aid to a 45-year-old man in moderate condition, as well as several other people who were injured but in light condition. The injured were evacuated to city hospitals by MDA ambulances.

MDA initially reported seven injured in the strike, before revising that figure to five, including those suffering from symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), while Israeli police said six victims with varying degrees of injuries were evacuated from the scene.
