A third body has been recovered from under the rubble at the site of the Iranian ballistic missile impact in Haifa, rescue services say, identifying him as a man in his 40s.

Four people were unaccounted for after the missile struck a residential building in Haifa.

Two bodies were located overnight — a man and a woman in their 80s — and one body was recovered a short while ago, according to search and rescue forces operating at the scene.

The rescue forces say the body of the fourth person is expected to be recovered in the coming hours.
