🔴 HAIFA IMPACT AND CASUALTIES: An Iranian ballistic missile directly struck a residential building in Haifa, causing heavy damage and triggering a large emergency response.
Four people were injured, including an 82-year-old man in serious condition after being hit by a heavy object. Three others were lightly hurt by the blast and shrapnel, and four additional people were treated for acute anxiety.
Firefighters said a blaze broke out at the scene and warned of a serious risk of building collapse. Search teams are continuing scans under complex conditions because of concern that people may still be trapped.
🔴 NEOT HOVAV STRIKE IN THE SOUTH: Another Iranian ballistic missile struck the Neot Hovav industrial zone south of Beersheba, marking the third missile to hit the area during the war.
The missile landed in an open area, and the shockwave and shrapnel caused minor damage to a factory building. Firefighters said there is no concern over a hazardous material leak, and no casualties have been reported.
🚀 ADDITIONAL MISSILE FIRE: A separate missile fired from Iran toward southern Israel was likely intercepted, according to the IDF.
⚠️ ISRAELI WARNING AND STRIKE CONTEXT: Defense Minister Israel Katz said Iran will “pay painful prices” and its national infrastructure will “collapse” if it continues firing missiles at Israeli civilians.
“As we have stated: as long as missile fire toward Israeli civilians continues, Iran will pay painful prices that will erode and collapse its national infrastructure,” he said, following an assessment with military officials.
Katz said the Israeli Air Force struck petrochemical facilities in southern Iran yesterday. He said “the petrochemical industry has generated approximately $18 billion over the past two years for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps terror organization, and directly serves Iran's missile production industry.”
He also said he “commends” the US for the rescue operation of the two aircrew whose F-15E fighter jet was downed over Iran. “This is another expression of the close cooperation between Israel and the United States, even in the most complex moments,” he said.
🔸 TRUMP ON IRAN TALKS: President Trump told Fox News that he has given Iranian negotiators “immunity from death,” which he said they had requested.
“The big thing is they're not going to have a nuclear weapon. They're not even negotiating that point, it's so easy,” the President added. “That's already been conceded. Most of the points are conceded.”
