Police Commissioner Danny Levy, speaking at the site of the Iranian missile impact in Arad, says police do not believe anyone is missing following the strike but that searches through the rubble are ongoing.

Dozens were wounded in the missile attack on the southern city, which came following an attack on the city of Dimona, also in southern Israel.

“We won’t leave here until we confirm that there is no one missing and no one we have forgotten in the rubble,” Levy says.

He says the searches are using technological means in addition to people physically searching the site of the impact.

“According to reports I received, there is no one trapped at the moment,” he says. “We are continuing to search so that we truly don’t forget anyone here.”
