Iran Missile Strike on ‘israel’ Leaves Bat Yam Resembling Gaza, Reports Hebrew Media
Reports from Zionist Hebrew-language media suggest that the city of Bat Yam, located within the Israeli-occupied territories, resembles the devastated regions of the Gaza Strip following recent retaliatory actions conducted by Iran against the regime.
According to a report by the Israeli daily *Calcalist*, new data reveals that around 18,000 individuals have been displaced as a consequence of their homes being destroyed in missile attacks attributed to Iran.
Out of these, 12,000 individuals have been transferred to hotel accommodations, with the rest being settled in rental apartments.
Recent analyses indicate that four cities, namely Bat Yam, Tel Aviv, Rehovot, and Ramat Gan, have suffered extensive damage as a result of missile strikes attributed to Iran. Meanwhile, those displaced by the conflict face a critical shortage of available housing, exacerbating the crisis for settlers forced to flee their homes.
Tzvika Brot, the mayor of Bat Yam, has revealed the significant destruction caused by missile strikes originating from Iran, affecting the city extensively.
In an interview with Israeli Channel 10, Brot described the attack as “the most severe blow in the city’s history,” disclosing that a residential area spanning 120 dunams (approximately 40 acres) was completely destroyed.
The mayor highlighted the significant devastation caused by a single-day Iranian bombardment, marking it as the most severe attack recorded in the occupied territories, extending beyond just Bat Yam.
Estimates indicate that the damage resulting from Iran’s strikes is expected to lead to temporary increases in housing prices.
Reports from real estate offices in northern Tel Aviv indicate a shortage of apartment inventory, creating uncertainty about relocation options for displaced families in the region.
On June 13, Israeli forces initiated military actions against the Islamic Republic, reportedly with U.S. support, targeting and killing several high-ranking military commanders, scientists, and numerous civilians, including women and children.
On that day, Iranian military forces, led by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), initiated an unexpected counteroffensive against the Israeli government, dubbed Operation True Promise III.
The Iranian military launched a barrage of advanced missiles targeting Israel’s military and industrial infrastructure with high precision. This aggressive display forced Israel to unconditionally halt its operations against Iran on June 24.
In response to the unilateral decision, Iran has paused its retaliatory operations following the execution of 22 successful attacks targeting Israeli-occupied territories.
The Israeli Health Ministry has reported 29 fatalities and 3,238 injuries resulting from Iranian retaliatory strikes. However, experts suggest that the actual numbers could be significantly higher, pointing to Israel’s history of withholding comprehensive casualty figures.
