Four Israeli settlers killed in Iranian missile strike on Haifa 

At least four Israeli settlers have been killed and several others injured as missiles fired by Iran in retaliation for the ongoing US-Israeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic hit targets in the southern occupied lands.

According to the Israeli media, the bodies of four people were recovered from under the rubble at the site of an Iranian ballistic missile impact in the coastal city of Haifa on Monday.

The barrage of Iranian missiles also wounded four people, and caused additional damage.

The Israeli Fire and Rescue Service said it "rescued two trapped individuals found under the rubble without signs of life" following hours of efforts alongside the so-called Home Front Command. The two were reportedly a man and woman in their 80s.

The Israeli ministry of health announced on Monday that four people have been killed and at least 163 others sustained injuries in the past 24 hours as a result of Iranian missile strikes against targets in Tel Aviv and Haifa, and subsequent explosions.

This comes as barrages of Iranian ballistic missiles are raining down on various locations across the occupied lands, striking sites in the northern and southern flanks as well as the heart of the territories.

The latest casualties bring the number of Israeli settlers injured in the occupied territories to 6,996 as a result of Iranian missile and drone operations.

Experts, however, put the actual figure at much higher number, lambasting Israeli medical authorities for exercising a media blackout in light of the real extent of damage caused by Iranian attacks.

Meanwhile, Israeli health officials in Tel Aviv said at least four people were wounded as powerful blasts following Iranian missile strikes rattled the city.
