The commander of Haifa’s Fire and Rescue services station says that his personnel are cooperating with other forces to reach four people feared trapped under the rubble of a residential building struck by an Iranian ballistic missile in Haifa, as the search continues into the night.

Station commander Kobi Mizrahi says the fire service was working with police, the IDF Home Front Command, and the Magen David Adom ambulance service to reach the four people, who have not yet made contact with rescue forces.

“From the standpoint of this war, this is the most severe scene in our district until now, including the scope of the destruction, the complexity, and the casualties, of course, the Kobi Mizrahi says in a statement.
