Magen David Adom said a woman in her fifties died after an Iranian missile hit the Tel Aviv area during Saturday night's barrages, which injured 27 people at that site. Across Israel, 121 people were hurt on the first day of Iranian fire.
Why it matters
The death showed Iranian missiles were still getting through Israel's air defenses despite the opening strikes on launch sites; a deadlier hit on Beit Shemesh followed the next afternoon.
