Overview
- Rescue crews in Haifa are combing a seven-story residential building that was hit Sunday in a direct Iranian ballistic missile strike, with the IDF and Fire and Rescue Service confirming the impact and a post-strike fire.
- Magen David Adom medics rescued an 82-year-old man from rubble in serious condition and treated several others for light injuries, including a 10‑month‑old baby, as additional residents were treated for shock.
- Firefighters warn the structure is unstable and could collapse, and teams are working under what officials called complex conditions as searches continue for anyone still trapped.
- The Haifa attack follows multiple strikes in Bnei Brak from Friday into Saturday, including a direct hit on Kehillot Yaakov Street that damaged MK Moshe Gafni’s home; he and his wife were in a shelter and unhurt, and security video captured the blast.
- Some reports said the Haifa missile carried a large warhead and was not intercepted, a pattern that has kept emergency and Home Front Command teams on high alert during Iran’s recent barrages against Israeli cities.
