Police are still looking for 11 people who are unaccounted for after an Iranian ballistic missile struck a residential area in Beit Shemesh earlier, killing nine and wounding some 50 others.
“At this time, there are still 11 missing persons with whom contact has not yet been made, and efforts to locate them are ongoing, alongside search operations at the scene to rule out the suspicion of trapped [individuals],” police say.
Police bomb disposal experts are working to clear the site of any additional munitions, they add.
