Iran Missile Fire Kills Two in Central Israel: Medics

An Iranian missile with a cluster warhead hit central Israel, killing two elderly civilians and injuring four others, damaging key infrastructure including Tel Aviv’s main railway station.

  • On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, an Iranian missile strike in Ramat Gan killed a married couple in their 70s and hit the Tel Aviv area.
  • Following Israel's statement that it had struck top Iranian officials, Iran's missile attacks came hours after Israel announced it had killed two senior Iranian leaders, Ali Larijani and Gholamreza Soleimani, in separate airstrikes.
  • A nearby resident, Chen Amir, said 'When I opened the door two minutes after that, thick smoke and the smell of burning filled the air and I could barely see.'
  • Sirens sounded across Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Dead Sea area after additional launches from Iran, and witnesses in Lebanon said Israel later launched intense airstrikes in central Beirut.
  • Since the war began on Feb. 28, Israel has borne much of the brunt of airstrikes from Iran and Hezbollah in Operation Roaring Lion, and Iran confirmed the deaths of two senior officials, raising questions about its senior leadership.
