"A seven-story residential building partially collapsed after being struck by a reported Iranian ballistic missile in Haifa on Sunday, leaving at least four injured. Footage shows rescuers combing through the wreckage in search of trapped survivors, as security forces secure the area. The strike came as part of a broader barrage of missiles fired toward northern Israel. Initial reports suggest the missile may not have detonated on impact, but the force of the strike caused a partial collapse of the building's facade and lower floors. Four people have been confirmed injured, including an 82-year-old man who was pulled from the rubble in serious condition, and a 10-month-old baby treated for minor shrapnel wounds. Fire and Rescue Services, alongside Home Front Command units, are continuing search and rescue operations. Israeli media report that authorities have warned the remaining structure could face total collapse due to severe structural instability. Iran has not confirmed responsibility for this specific strike. However, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had launched a broader wave of ballistic missile attacks against Israel on Sunday. Israeli officials are also investigating why the missile was not intercepted by air defence systems. Tensions have escalated across the Middle East since the United States and Israel launched a joint military operation against Iran on February 28, amid diplomatic talks aimed at curbing 'Iran's nuclear and missile programmes.' Tehran responded with retaliatory strikes on Israeli and US assets in the region, with reports of explosions in several Gulf countries. Iran later confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, with his son Mojtaba Khamenei named as his successor."
