11-Year-Old Nesia Karadi Dies After Iranian Missile Strike on Bnei Brak

Her death underscores the danger to Israeli civilians from cluster munitions used in recent cross-border attacks.

Overview

  • Nesia Karadi, who died Friday, had remained in intensive care at Sheba Medical Center since she was critically wounded on the eve of Passover.
  • The missile hit the family's apartment on Rimon Street in Bnei Brak, and her mother said she was asleep and could not reach the safe room before the blast.
  • Multiple outlets described the attack as a cluster missile strike, a weapon that scatters many small bomblets and raises the risk of harm across a wide area.
  • Thousands attended her funeral Saturday night, where her uncle Rabbi Michael Lasri and Chief Rabbinate Council member Rabbi Yigal Cohen delivered eulogies.
  • News organizations updated the home-front death toll from Iranian missile fire with differing counts, as Israel National News cited 28 and Haaretz reported 25.
