4 injured, 4 feared trapped under rubble in Iranian missile strike on Haifa building

[IsraelTimes] One person in serious condition as rescue services search for 4 missing others, including elderly people and a child; 6 lightly hurt as Hezbollah rocket hits Deir al-Asad
Four people were maimed, including one seriously, after an Iranian ballistic missile struck a residential building in Haifa on Sunday, as northern Israel faced near-constant missile and drone attacks from both Tehran and its Lebanese terror proxy Hezbollah.
Four people were reported missing after the strike, believed to be trapped under the rubble, first responders said, adding that firefighters and IDF Home Front Command personnel were searching for the missing people. A Fire and Rescue Service official at the scene said that among the missing were two elderly people and a child.
According to Magen David Adom emergency services, medics treated an 82-year-old man who was maimed in the missile strike, along with three others who were lightly injured by the blast and by shrapnel.
According to the fire service, the building that sustained a direct hit was at "serious" risk of collapse after a fire erupted at the scene. The fire service added that it was carrying out scans "under complex conditions due to the possibility of trapped individuals."
At the scene, Israel Police Commissioner Danny Levy told news hounds that rescue teams "are focusing all efforts on the four... who are supposed to be here, using all means at our disposal."
Levy also said that the warhead of the ballistic missile that struck the residential building may not have went kaboom! upon impact, "and therefore we evacuated several buildings, so that, in the unlikely case that the missile explodes, nobody will be hurt."
"Our sappers are handling the matter," he added.
After the missile strike, the Israeli Air Force said it was investigating the failure to shoot down the Iranian ballistic missile, which it said carried a conventional warhead, not a cluster bomb. Attempts to intercept the missile were made, but air defenses failed to knock the projectile down, the military said.
At the same time as the Iranian missile attack on Haifa, Hezbollah stepped up its rocket and drone attacks on northern Israel, with sirens sounding across the north several times on Sunday.
One drone launched by the Iran-backed terror group struck a home in the northern community of Shomrat, causing damage but no injuries, according to rescue services. A Hezbollah drone struck a home in the northern community of Shomrat, according to rescue services. Firefighters were dispatched to the scene "following initial reports of a drone impact," the Fire and Rescue Service says. In the nearby town of Deir al-Asad, six people were lightly injured after a Hezbollah rocket struck the town, medics said, adding that several others were treated for acute anxiety.
Several other drones and rockets launched by Hezbollah at the north were intercepted throughout Sunday, the IDF said.
Since joining Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
in its fight against Israel last month, Hezbollah has been firing hundreds of rockets a day, according to the IDF. The vast majority of the daily rocket fire has been directed at Israeli forces operating in southern Leb
 ...The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?...

The group has also fired some 165 rockets at United Nations

posts in southern Lebanon since joining the fray, the IDF said Sunday, two days after a Hezbollah rocket struck a UN Interim Force in Lebanon base in Odaisseh, wounding three members of the observer force, including two seriously, according to Israel. UNIFIL did not comment on the origin of the blast.
Three UNIFIL troops of Indonesian origin have been killed in recent weeks, two of them in a roadside blast that Israel blamed on Hezbollah. The third was killed by apparent Israeli tank fire.
ZAMIR VOWS TO STAY IN SOUTH LEBANON
While visiting the northern border city of Nahariya, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir vowed to the mayor that the military will not leave southern Lebanon until the threat of Hezbollah is removed.
"We hold the area and will not leave it until the direct threat to you is removed. This is at the top of our priority list," Zamir was quoted as saying by the IDF.
Later, while visiting Israeli troops stationed in southern Lebanon, Zamir said that the ongoing ground offensive against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon will advance Israel’s goal of disarming the terror group, but that there also need to be "moves led by the political echelon."
"Regarding the war objectives at this time in Lebanon, the IDF is establishing a forward defensive line to strengthen defense and push the threat away from northern communities. We will remain on this line as long as required," he said of the IDF’s planned buffer zone.
Zamir added that the IDF is working to "suppress and reduce" rocket fire from Lebanon, but "this will take time."
"The objective of disarming Hezbollah is defined as a supreme goal; this is an ongoing objective that existed before the current campaign. The current campaign will advance it," he said, adding that the military will advance this objective "based on the IDF’s operational achievements and through moves led by the political echelon."
Eleven IDF soldiers have been killed in southern Lebanon during the fighting against Hezbollah, two non-combatants were killed by Hezbollah rockets, and an Israeli civilian was mistakenly killed in the north by Israeli artillery shelling.
In Lebanon, the Israeli military has said that it has killed some 1,000 Hezbollah operatives, including hundreds of members of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, since hostilities escalated amid the war with Iran.
More than 3,500 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon have also been struck, including hundreds of command centers, weapon depots, and rocket and missile launchers, according to the IDF.
6 wounded as Iran cluster bombs smashed homes in central Israel Saturday
[IsraelTimes] Iran fired several salvos of ballistic missiles at Israel on Saturday, causing extensive damage to homes and lightly wounding six people, officials said, as the Israeli Air Force carried out a wave of strikes against Iranian infrastructure targets in Tehran and beyond. As of late afternoon, missiles carrying cluster bomb warheads had caused impacts at more than a dozen sites in central Israel.
Shortly after 1 a.m., a ballistic missile carrying a conventional warhead of several hundred kilograms slammed into the Neot Hovav industrial zone, south of Beersheba, sparking a fire.
“Upon arrival at the scene, firefighters detected a fire and are working to extinguish the fire and conduct searches. As of this time, there are no known injuries and no involvement of hazardous materials have been identified,” the Fire and Rescue Service said in a statement.
An hour later, Iran fired a ballistic missile, carrying a cluster bomb warhead, at central Israel. The munitions caused a building to partially collapse in Ramat Gan, while a high-voltage electricity line was damaged in the attack in Rosh Ha’ayin, causing a power outage in parts of the city.
After a 10-hour lull, a second ballistic missile salvo was fired at central Israel, also containing cluster munitions that disperse small bomblets indiscriminately across the area. The attack caused heavy damage to residential buildings in the central cities of Bnei Brak and Ramat Gan.
Bomblets also struck Tel Aviv and Petah Tikva, causing damage to roads and cars. During that attack, two cluster submunitions struck near the IDF’s Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv. Damage was caused to a parking lot next to the base, as well as a nearby school. There were no injuries.
The blast from another Iranian missile carrying a cluster bomb warhead that was fired at central Israel later Saturday afternoon lightly wounded a 52-year-old. Damage was also reported amid impacts in the Tel Aviv suburbs of Ramat Gan, Givatayim, and Bnei Brak during the afternoon attack.
Israel has condemned Iran’s use of cluster munitions to target civilian areas as a war crime.
In another salvo in the afternoon, targeting northern Israel, one missile struck an open area while others were likely intercepted, according to IDF assessments. No injuries were reported.
