On the day of the incident, Haaretz reported that “a 102-year-old man was pronounced dead at a Tel Aviv hospital after tripping on his way to an emergency shelter, hospital officials said.”
According to The Times of Israel, “the man was injured in Ramat Gan after falling down the stairs while on his way to a protected area during an Iranian missile barrage. Paramedics found the elderly man in unstable condition, having sustained serious head trauma, after they received a report of the incident in the Tel Aviv area at around 2 p.m..”
