The Iranian strike in Israel injures almost 2 dozen, emergency officials say, in the midst of diplomatic efforts

An Iranian missile strike wounded 23 people on Friday in the northern part of Israel, said the magic of the emergency services David Adom, while the two countries continued to exchange more strikes.

Three were seriously injured, including a 16 -year -old boy, who suffered shrapnel wounds at the top of the body, MDA said. Two others, a 40 -year -old man and a 54 -year -old man had shod wounds in his legs, and a woman had a heart attack while taking refuge and died, the paramedics said.

An Israeli military official said that Iran had triggered approximately 20 missiles to Israel in the attack, which occurred as a diplomatic effort to negotiate an agreement to the conflict began in Geneva between European Foreign Ministers and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

Before the meeting, Araghchi said that his country has “nothing to discuss” with the United States while Israel continues his attacks on Iran, but is open to “dialogue” with others, although not negotiations.

After several hours of conversations, Great Britain’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy said that Europeans are “interested in continuing discussions and negotiations with Iran.” He said that Europeans were clear in the conversations in Geneva that Iran “cannot have a nuclear weapon.” Araghchi also said that Iran was interested in continuing discussions.

“Iran is ready to consider diplomacy once again,” he said, and added, “I emphasize that Iran’s defense capabilities are not negotiable. (But) I express our preparation to meet again in the near future.”

President Trump said Friday afternoon “we are ready, willing and capable, and we have been talking to Iran, and we will see what happens.” When he left Washington for his Bedminster Club, the president told reporters that it would be “very difficult at this time” to request that Israel stop his offensive against Iran to allow an agreement to be negotiated, as Iran demanded. “If someone is winning, it is a bit more difficult to make someone losing.”

Earlier on Friday morning, the Israel Army said it carried out strikes in 25 military and nuclear objectives in Iran. Israel’s defense forces said 60 aircraft were used in the strikes.

An Iranian missile also hit the city of southern Be’er Sheva on Friday morning.

As tensions with Iran intensified, Israel continued their attacks in Gaza on the last day, with at least 42 people killed on Friday. The Ministry of Health led by Hamas in Gaza said that 23 of the murdered people sought humanitarian aid.

No humanitarian aid has entered the Gaza Strip, where the UN has said that the entire population faces the risk of starvation, for 48 hours.
