The third night in a row. Sirens again, explosions again, injuries and deaths again. The cities of Petah Tikva and Bnei Brak were hit particularly hard last night. Shortly before 4 am, several Iranian rockets struck densely populated residential areas. Eight people lost their lives: four in Petah Tikva—two in a shelter, one in the same building, and another due to the blast wave in a neighboring house. An approximately 80-year-old man was killed in Bnei Brak. Three more fatalities were found under the rubble in Haifa. Over 100 people were injured in total. One woman sustained severe facial injuries, six others are in moderate condition, and 85 were lightly injured.

Paramedics from the Magen David Adom aid organization reported chaotic scenes: burning vehicles, collapsed houses, and injured people emerging from the debris. One emergency paramedic said, “Everything was in flames. We brought the wounded to collection points and immediately began first aid.” Two high-rise buildings in central Tel Aviv suffered direct rocket hits. Eight rescue teams were deployed to search for those trapped. No life without alarms
