According to the BBC, a shooting in central Israel on Sunday left one person dead and five injured. Police and emergency services were dispatched to the scene; the wounded were taken to local hospitals and police cordoned off the surrounding area.

The incident took place on the same day that Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israel and air-defence systems were on alert. National emergency medical service MDA said its on-scene response was carried out swiftly. The prime minister's office said it was tracking the incident closely and had instructed security agencies on additional protection measures.
