Etti Cohen Engel is the second to be named of the three people killed in massive barrages of Iranian ballistic missile fire last night and early this morning.
Engel was killed in the missile attack that hit the central city of Ramat Gan last night.
Earlier today, it was announced that Yisrael Aloni, 73, was killed in a barrage on the central city of Rishon Lezion. Another person who has not yet been publicly named was killed in the same barrage.


In addition to the three people killed, some 70 people were wounded by the approximately 200 ballistic missiles fired from Iran.
Most of the missiles were intercepted by air defenses. The military said that around 25%, less than 50, were not intercepted “according to protocol,” meaning they were left to strike open areas without causing damage to any critical infrastructure.
A “small number” of missiles made it through air defenses, the IDF said, including in residential areas in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Rishon Lezion in central Israel.
