The bodies of two people have been recovered from under the rubble at the site of the Iranian ballistic missile impact in Haifa, rescue services say.

The Fire and Rescue Service says that following hours of efforts alongside the Home Front Command, forces “rescued two trapped individuals who were found under the rubble without signs of life.”

“Rescue operations and attempts are still ongoing at this time in an effort to reach two additional trapped/unaccounted-for individuals,” the service says.
