In Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv, Iran's missile barrages killed at least six people.
Orange-vested emergency workers were clambering over rubble on Sunday morning in the central Israeli coastal city of Bat Yam in the wake of an Iranian missile strike that killed at least six people and wounded scores of others. Paramedics were still trying to save three people who were still trapped under debris, according to the Israeli military, hours after the missile evaded Israel's air defenses. Four people remained unaccounted for, the military said. Most of those confirmed dead were women and children, according to the authorities, although they have yet to publicly name the victims. The scenes were replicated across northern and central Israel after a long night of Iranian missile attacks. Many Israelis have a certain nonchalance about missile fire, the product of both near-constant rocket attacks and the country's sophisticated aerial defenses. But the destructive attacks in Bat Yam and elsewhere overnight — in which 10 people were confirmed killed — underscored how Israel's current escalation with heavily armed Iran differs from fighting armed paramilitaries like Hamas and Hezbollah. In Rehovot, another city south of Tel Aviv, debris from the overnight attack filled the streets. Bloodstained bandages and white surgical gloves lay by a roadside bench. Rescue workers picked through shattered glass, searching for survivors. 'Is there anyone inside?' a police officer shouted, peering into a shop damaged by the strikes. In Bat Yam, hundreds of residents who had evacuated their homes near the blast site — many of which were left uninhabitable by the explosion — gathered at a nearby school to wait for officials to tell them where to go.
