'I Lost My Family in an Instant': Father of Family Killed by Iranian Missile Mourns Extreme Loss
- On June 15, 2025, an Iranian missile hit a three- to four-story residential building in the predominantly Arab town of Tamra near Haifa, northern Israel, resulting in the deaths of four women from the same family.
- This attack followed a large-scale Israeli offensive on Iran the previous Friday, which targeted military and nuclear sites, triggering Iranian missile retaliations on Israel.
- The missile caused severe damage that nearly collapsed the building, and emergency services evacuated 14 injured people while providing care for eight others at Rambam Hospital.
- Among the victims were Manar al-Qasem Abu al-Hijja Khatib, aged 47, her two daughters—Hala, who was 20, and Shada, 13—and another female relative named Manar Diab Khatib. In addition to these fatalities, more than 100 people sustained injuries across multiple strikes.
- The attack escalated communal tensions as some Israelis celebrated the missile strike, prompting condemnation of growing racism and societal divisions within Israel.
