The bodies of two people were recovered on Monday from the rubble of a building hit by an Iranian ballistic missile in the northern Israeli city of Haifa late Sunday, according to Israeli media reports.
The Times of Israel, citing rescue services, said the bodies were found after hours of search efforts following the strike.
Israel’s Fire and Rescue Service said teams working alongside the Home Front Command “rescued two trapped individuals who were found under the rubble without signs of life.”
The service added that operations were ongoing to locate two other people believed to be trapped or unaccounted for.
Late Sunday, Israel’s national emergency service MDA said that eleven Israelis were injured and four others missing following an Iranian missile strike in Haifa.
The organization said one of the injured was in critical condition when a missile directly struck a five-story building in Haifa. Four other people were treated for shock.
Channel 12 reported that missile fragments fell in at least three locations in Haifa, causing significant damage.
Regional escalation has continued to flare since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on Iran on Feb. 28, killing so far over 1,340 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, along with Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure while disrupting global markets and aviation.
