The grim toll from Iran's assault on Israel has climbed to 19. More bodies were discovered under the devastation in Bat Yam, bringing the death toll to this alarming figure. As of Sunday morning, the media stated that at least seven individuals perished in Iran's missile attacks on central Israel.
Magen David Adom confirmed the identities of four fatalities - two women, a 10-year-old boy, and an 8-year-old girl among them. Additionally, 130 Israelis sought hospital treatment following the attacks.
Despite the ongoing rescue efforts, roughly 35 Israelis remain unaccounted for, hidden beneath the rubble.

On Saturday night, Tehran launched a hypersonic ballistic missile, reportedly targeting northern Israel's Haifa.
