A 91-year-old Holocaust survivor who was seriously injured during Iran’s missile attacks on Israel in June died at her home in the central Israeli city of Rehovot on Saturday, raising death toll from Tehran's attacks to 32, Hebrew media reported.
Olga Weissberg collapsed in her home late Saturday and was pronounced dead at the scene by Magen David Adom medics.
She had been wounded on June 15 in an Iranian missile strike during the 12-day war, but was later discharged from hospital. Israeli media reports said her health had deteriorated in recent days.
Weissberg is the second Holocaust survivor whose death has been linked to the June attacks. Ivette Shmilovitz, 95, was killed in a missile strike on Petah Tikva, a city east of Tel Aviv, on June 17.
Iran and Israel fought a 12-day conflict in June that included US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities at Isfahan, Natanz and Fordow, and Israeli strikes that destroyed critical infrastructure, killing several senior military and scientific figures as well as hundreds of civilians.
Iran responded with missile strikes that killed 31 civilians and one off-duty soldier, according to official figures published by the Israeli government.
The Islamic Republic says 1,062 people were also killed by Israel during the 12-day conflict, including 786 military personnel and 276 civilians.
