Israel wakes up to ‘very sad, difficult morning,’ Herzog says

The Israeli President Isaac Herzog said on Sunday that his country has witnessed a “very sad and difficult morning” as at least eight people were killed in  Iranian missile strikes.

On a post on X, Herzog denounced what he described as “criminal Iranian attacks”, and said that he would pray for the wounded to recover and for the Israelis who are still missing to be found.

Israeli media outlets said dozens of people were reported missing after an Iranian strike targeted Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv.
