On CNN's “The Lead” broadcast on Tuesday, IDF international spokesperson Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani said that one Palestinian was killed in an Iranian attack on Israel earlier in the day.
host Jake Tapper asked. Colonel, can you tell us about casualties? Jim Schutt said the United States has mentioned that Palestinian Americans in the West Bank may be killed. Do you know anything about that or any other victims? ”
Shoshani said: “Well, this large-scale attack just happened recently. We are still assessing the situation. All we can say at this point is that this attack in the Jericho area left multiple people injured and Palestinians injured. We know that there were deaths, but we are still figuring out the situation because this is one of the largest attacks of this scale in the history of Israel. And we've probably seen it in the history of ballistics. [missile] attack. ”
Shoshani continued that the low number of casualties was due to people being evacuated and strong air defenses by Israel, the United States and other countries.
Mr. Hussein Hamael, Governor of Jericho, told Agence France-Presse“Palestinian worker in Jericho killed by rocket fragments falling from the sky.''
