i24NEWS DESK | An eight-year-old girl is among the 39 people in Israel who have required medical help in the wake of Tuesday's missile barrages from Gaza so far.
The child apparently suffered an onset of heart arrhythmia, caused by fear as her family rushed to the bomb shelter amid the wail of the rocket attack sirens.
The girl received lifesaving treatment by an emergency team and was evacuated in a critical, but stable condition to the Wolfson Medical Center.
As per reports by Magen David Adom, Israel's national emergency service, a total of 39 people have required medical attention as of 14:30 am Israeli time (12:30 GMT), with 20 injuries and 17 cases of anxiety attacks.
On Tuesday, Israel's new Defense Minister Naftali Bennett declared a special alert in the area within 80 km off the Gaza Strip as missiles rained down on Israel.
The latest escalation came after the IDF killed a senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader, head of its military wing, in a precision strike Tuesday morning.
