The IDF Home Front Command estimates that it will take at least a day to complete scans at the scene of the Iranian ballistic missile impact in Bat Yam.

Six people were killed and nearly 200 were wounded after a ballistic missile struck a building, partially collapsing it.

The Home Front Command search and rescue forces are continuing to search the area for those possibly trapped under the rubble, it says.

Seven people are still feared missing.
