Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seen touring the site of the early morning Iranian missile strike on a Bat Yam apartment building, where six Israelis were killed and dozens more wounded, APA reports citing Kan public broadcaster.
There is no official confirmation or statement from Netanyahu.
President Isaac Herzog also visits the site, where searches are ongoing for three more building residents.
“Dozens of homes in this area were completely damaged by a single missile launched from Iran in a cruel and terrible missile attack that was launched across the entire country,” Herzog says at the scene, according to a statement from his office.
“Over the past two days, thirteen Israelis have been killed — of various ages — children, adults, elderly people and new immigrants,” says the president, adding that “the missiles do not distinguish between Jews, Muslims, Christians, or any part of the wonderful Israeli mosaic.”
“This is a very significant moment in the history of Israel. We must show the emotional and mental resilience that we always have,” Herzog says.
He did not mention anything about a potential visit to Tamra, where four women were killed in an Iranian strike overnight.
