At least 11 people were killed overnight Saturday in a wave of Iranian missile attacks on civilian areas across Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seven people were killed when an apartment building in Bat Yam, just south of Tel Aviv, sustained a direct hit, according to the Magen David Adom emergency medical service. A 4-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy are among the dead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rescue efforts are ongoing at the scene, where three people remained unaccounted for beneath the rubble after four of the missing were found at hospitals. At least 180 others were wounded in the strike, according to Daniel Hadad, Ayalon region director of the Israel Defense Forces\u2019 Home Front Command.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Rehovot in central Israel, a direct hit on a building left 37 people wounded, two seriously, Magen David Adom said. The Weizmann Institute of Science in the same city said that several of its buildings were damaged by the missile barrage, but that there were no casualties, adding that the institute is in contact with security and emergency services to ensure the safety of its staff and campus.<\/span><\/p>\n
