Thirty-three people mostly suffered light injuries in a missile attack Friday by Iran targeting northern Israel.

A statement from Israel's national emergency medical service Magen David Adom said only one person, a 35-year-old woman in the town of Zarzir, sustained moderate injuries from shrapnel in her back.

Following the launch of the missiles, sirens sounded in northern Israel and explosions were heard in the sky, according to media reports.

Israeli media reported that some houses were damaged as a result of the attack.

The Israeli army announced that two separate intense missile attacks were launched from Iran into the north of the country within half an hour and asked the public to seek shelter.
