The area is not far from Israel’s Nevatim Airbase, which was reportedly struck by multiple missiles.
She had underwent surgery for a major head wound at Soroka Medical Center, the report said.
Iran fired some 170 drones, more than 30 cruise missiles and more than 120 ballistic missiles at Israel, but 99% of them had been shot down by Israel, according to a military spokesperson.
Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said the outcome was a “very significant strategic success” and President Biden said the US helped its ally down “nearly all” of the airstrikes.
