18:41โขIranian Missiles Strike Synagogue and Apartments
โจThe newspapers report on another Iranian missile barrage striking Israel, with approximately 30 projectiles causing direct hits on buildings in Haifa and the south (13tv, Davar, INN, Israel Hayom, Kan, Maariv, Mako, n12, now14, times, Ynet, walla). This latest attack injured 8-11 people, including direct strikes on a synagogue and residential buildings, with fires breaking out in Haifa and concerns about trapped civilians (Davar, Mako, n12, now14). The Iranian salvo bypassed early warning systems, forcing nationwide shelter orders before authorities declared it safe to emerge (Ynet, 13tv). Israeli casualties from the day's Iranian strikes have now reached 11 killed, including identified victim Efrat Saranga from Bat Yam, with over 200 wounded across Tamra, Bat Yam, and Rehovot (Davar, Maariv, Mako). Israel's Chief of Staff stated they "knew there would be costs" but acted before it was too late, while Netanyahu confirmed eliminating Iran's intelligence chief despite reports Trump vetoed plans to assassinate Khamenei (Davar, times).
