Thirteen Israelis have been killed in Tehran's attacks on the Jewish state. But the toll is set to rise. 

At least six people have died and seven are feared missing under the rubble after an Iranian ballistic missile slammed into a residential building in the central city of Bat Yam on Saturday night, in the second nighttime attack. Among the victims were an 8-year-old girl, a 10-year-old boy and an 18-year-old boy. More than 100 were injured. 

Among the identified victims were Etti Cohen Engel, Yisrael Aloni and Yevgenia Blinder.   Engel, in her 60s, was seriously injured in the rocket attack in Bat Yam  and later died from her wounds. Yisrael Aloni, 73, was killed in a shelling in the central city of Rishon Lezion on Saturday morning. Blinder was also killed in the same shelling.

Aloni's son Eran told Kan News that his father was alone in his basement apartment, where there was no protected space. Blinder, a woman in her 60s, worked as a caregiver in the house next to Aloni's.

The search for the missing continues. Ribat Vaknin told Channel 12 news that his father did not manage to reach a bomb shelter in time. There was an incredible shock wave. My brother was injured, my dog was injured, and now they are looking for my father, he said.

On Friday night, a missile struck a two-story home in Tamra, killing four women and wounding about 10. The women were identified as Manar Khatib and her two daughters, Hala, 20, and Shada, 13, as well as another relative, also named Manar Khatib.
