Emergency services are still working to evacuate residents of a heavily populated area in central Israel, over an hour after the barrage of ballistic missiles was fired from Iran.
The situation is complicated by the fact that a large elder care facility was damaged in the attack.
“There was a massive explosion. Everything shook. I don’t know what happened,” says a tearful witness.
Dazed families walk around carrying small bags with their important possessions, as security forces move them away from the scene, citing concerns of falling debris or a building collapse.
