Four Sri Lankans have been hospitalised after sustaining injuries in a missile attack that struck Dimona, Israel, last night, Sri Lanka’s Ambassador to Israel, Nimal Bandara, said.
According to the Ambassador, the individuals were injured while remaining outdoors and attempting to videograph the incident instead of seeking shelter at designated safe locations. Footage of the incident has since been seen circulating on social media.
The injuries were caused by shattered glass from nearby buildings following the impact of the missile. Glass fragments had struck their heads and other parts of the body, resulting in injuries that required hospitalisation.
Ambassador Bandara noted that such actions violate safety instructions issued by Israeli authorities.
He urged all Sri Lankans in Israel to immediately move to designated shelters upon hearing the warning sirens, which are typically sounded approximately three minutes before a missile strike.
Sri Lankan authorities continue to stress the importance of strictly adhering to safety guidelines amid the ongoing security situation in the region. (NewsWire)
