Five members of the same family were murdered when a missile hit a three story home in the town of Tamra.
Sirens sounded early Sunday morning in several areas across Israel following the identification of missiles and UAVs launched from Iran toward the State of Israel. In addition, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted.
Two women aged 69 and 80, an eight-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy, were pronounced dead at the scene of a missile impact in Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv. Later Sunday morning, two more bodies were removed from the rubble of a collapsed building.
Magen David Adom (MDA) reported that in Bat Yam, emergency teams provided medical treatment to 99 people – including 4 in serious condition, 7 moderately injured, and 88 with minor injuries.
In Rehovot, MDA teams treated 37 casualties: 2 in serious condition, 12 moderately injured, and 23 lightly injured.
In total across both sites: 140 casualties – 6 fatalities, 6 in serious condition, 19 moderately injured, and 111 with minor injuries. The wounded were evacuated to Wolfson, Ichilov, Sheba-Tel Hashomer, Kaplan, Shamir-Assaf Harofeh, Beilinson, and Assuta Ashdod hospitals.
Rescue teams are currently operating at the scene to search for additional victims under the rubble. The Home Front Command estimates 35 people are still missing in Bat Yam.
At the same time, air defense systems worked to intercept hostile aircraft in northern Israel.
As the attack commenced, the IDF announced that the IAF completed an extensive series of intelligence-based strikes on a number of targets in Tehran related to the Iranian regime’s nuclear weapons project. The targets included the Iranian Ministry of Defense headquarters, the headquarters of the SPND nuclear project, and additional targets, which advanced the Iranian regime’s efforts to obtain a nuclear weapon and where the Iranian regime hid its nuclear archive.
Earlier in the evening, a missile that directly hit a three-story home in the town of Tamra in northern Israel killed four women, including a mother, her two daughters, and a relative.
