President Isaac Herzog also visits the site, where searches are ongoing for three more building residents.

“Dozens of homes in this area were completely damaged by a single missile launched from Iran in a cruel and terrible missile attack that was launched across the entire country,” Herzog says at the scene, according to a statement from his office.

“Over the past two days, thirteen Israelis have been killed — of various ages — children, adults, elderly people and new immigrants,” says the president, adding that “the missiles do not distinguish between Jews, Muslims, Christians, or any part of the wonderful Israeli mosaic.”

“This is a very significant moment in the history of Israel. We must show the emotional and mental resilience that we always have,” Herzog says.

He did not mention anything about a potential visit to Tamra, where four women were killed in an Iranian strike overnight.
