According to a Home Front Command search and rescue official, civilians who were inside bomb shelters in the Bat Yam apartment building struck by an Iranian ballistic missile this morning were unharmed.
The building includes a shared bomb-safe room on each floor, as well as an underground shelter. The missile, carrying a warhead weighing several hundred kilograms, made a direct impact, partially collapsing the structure. At least six people were killed, nearly 200 were injured, and seven remain missing.
The official confirmed that all casualties occurred outside the shelters, while those who followed Home Front Command instructions and took cover remained safe.
The IDF continues to stress that, while Israel’s multi-layered air defense system is highly effective, it is not foolproof. Citizens are repeatedly urged to seek shelter immediately upon hearing missile alerts.
