Effi Defrin said in a statement. He said that Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir instructed the military to remain on alert and to respond forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire.
An initial investigation of the deadly results in Iran's missile strike on Be'er Sheva on Tuesday indicates that two missiles targeted the southern city, one was intercepted and the other made a direct hit. The fatalities and injuries included people who were in their secure rooms, but the missile entered through an external wall before hitting two apparently faulty shelters and destroying them. Other shelters in the building remained intact and the people inside were unharmed. At least five people were confirmed dead while rescue operations continued in search of others buried in the rubble.
