The 10-year-old was killed in an Iranian missile strike in central Israel among four people killed in Iranian missile strikes, according to emergency services.
A large-scale emergency response operation is currently underway in Bat Yam City, where the building was hit directly.
According to Mazen David Admu (MDA), Israel’s National Emergency Services, a woman of 60, an 80-year-old, and a girl who was not given that age were also killed on strike.
Bat Yam’s video showed buildings with torn facades and tall mountains of tiled rubs. Emergency workers scrutinised the scene along with the search dogs and were able to see residents gathering on the streets behind the Cordon Line.
Blott said the first building was attacked around 2:30am. Other buildings in the area have also been damaged, indicating that the windows have been shattered, and the window frames have been torn from the exterior walls.
Authorities are now working to establish a family centre and support residents who have been evacuated on strike, he said.
Israeli police international spokesman Dean Elsdan Chut said he received “reports of numerous shock sites” after the “big rocket barrage” was fired from Iran.
“We have a lot of casualties that we had to be medically evacuated. Unfortunately, they contain deaths,” he said from Bat Yam in a Reuters video. He added that police will work with other Israeli agencies, including the military, to find missing residents and secure the scene.
Approximately 140 people have been injured in two locations in central Israel.
In another wave of strikes, four additional people were killed in northern Israel, increasing the number of deaths from Sunday’s attack to eight on Sunday.
