The Fire and Rescue Service warned that the structure remains at risk of full collapse, with teams working to shore up the building and confirm no additional residents are trapped inside. [2] Israel Police confirmed the missile struck the building directly, not as debris from an interception. [2]
The strike was part of a weekend barrage that saw at least 14 Iranian missiles fired at Israeli targets, continuing the tempo of Operation True Promise 4.

The refinery was struck on March 30 in a separate attack, the second time its facilities were hit during the war. [3]
Cluster munition impact sites were also reported in the wider Haifa area following the latest barrage, causing damage to roads and vehicles. [1]
The weekend's attacks bring the war's civilian toll in Israel to at least 22 killed and more than 6,500 injured since February 28, according to the Jerusalem Post's running tally. [1]
