Some 58 people were wounded after a ballistic missile struck Israel during the third Iranian missile barrage targeted the country's north on early Friday morning, Magen David Adom said in a statement.
Seven firefighting teams from the Nof Galilee Station responded to the scene, Israel's Fire and Rescue Authority said on Friday morning.
