(JTA<\/a>) \u2014 Four people \u2014 including a couple in their 80s \u2014 were killed when an Iranian missile crashed into their home in Haifa on Sunday, in the latest direct strike in the month-old U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.<\/p>\n

The missile was not intercepted because it had broken off from a larger munition, determined Israeli authorities, who said the people killed were not in their building\u2019s bomb shelter at the time of the strike.<\/p>\n

The strike brings the civilian death toll in Israel to 18 as uncertainty reigns about the future of the war, with U.S. President Donald Trump threatening multiple times over the weekend to pummel Iran imminently if it does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz to oil shipping imminently.<\/p>\n

\u201cTuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social early Sunday. \u201cOpen the F\u2013kin\u2019 Strait, you crazy bastards, or you\u2019ll be living in Hell \u2013 JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iran offered no indication that it would meet Trump\u2019s deadline, which comes as the president has extended previous deadlines for action by Tehran. A top Iranian official said the regime would respond \u201ccrushingly and extensively\u201d to further attacks on civilian targets, including power plants and bridges. And a spokesman for the foreign ministry responded to questions about a reported framework for a ceasefire by saying, \u201cNegotiations are in no way compatible with ultimatums, crimes, or threats of war crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sparring comes after a dramatic weekend in the war. U.S. forces rescued an airman whose plane had been shot down during a commando raid in rural Iran, while Israel said it had killed the intelligence chief of the Islamic Republic Revolutionary Guards during a strike on an office building in Tehran.<\/p>\n
