Overview

  • A missile launched from Iran struck a family home in Tamra late Saturday, killing four relatives and injuring about 20 residents, many of whom suffered panic attacks.
  • The Tamra strike occurred during a three-day exchange of fire that has left 13 people dead in Israel and 120 in Iran since Israel’s offensive began on June 13.
  • Tamra’s mayor, Musa Abu Rumi, said the missile appeared aimed at Haifa and criticized the inadequate protection of Arab-majority communities.
  • Emergency teams recovered victim remains up to 50 meters from the impact site, and the blast crushed a legally compliant safety shelter inside the house.
  • Iran also targeted Haifa’s oil refinery in northern Israel over the weekend, but operators reported that essential operations remained uninterrupted.
