Ten Israelis have been confirmed dead following an Iranian missile barrage on central Israel, with two additional bodies being recovered from a collapsed building in Bat Yam as of the early hours of June 15, Israeli ambulance service Magen David Adom (MDA) confirmed.

Six people, including an 8-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy, were killed when a missile directly struck a residential building in Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv. In northern Israel, four family members died when an Iranian missile hit a building in Tamra on the night of June 14.

The victims in Tamra were identified as Manar al-Qasem Abu al-Heija Khatib and her two daughters, Hala and Shada, ages 13 and 20, along with their relative, Manar Diab Katib.

"I saw a scene of destruction in a three-story building. Nearby houses were damaged, and there was chaos in the street," MDA Paramedic Adnan Abu Rum told The Jerusalem Post.

"We approached a house that had suffered significant destruction, and residents helped us rescue a woman in her 20s who was unconscious and showed no signs of life."

Israel Fire and Rescue teams successfully rescued three people from a building that sustained a direct missile hit, according to local media reports. Over 130 confirmed injuries resulting from this latest missile barrage have been confirmed by Israeli authorities.

Israel's Home Front Command estimates that approximately 35 people remain missing following the missile barrage, with search and rescue operations continuing across affected areas.
