Tel Aviv Missile Strike: Rescuers Search for Survivors Amidst Rubble An Iranian ballistic missile struck a residential building in Tel Aviv, Israel, on the night of June 14th, 2025, causing significant damage and casualties. Sky News' Middle East correspondent, Alistair Bunkall, visited the site and reported on the ongoing rescue operation. Emergency workers were seen carefully searching through the debris, while the surrounding buildings showed considerable damage from the blast. The force of the impact was evident in shattered windows, blown-in shutters, and damaged walls. Alistair Bunkall described the scene, saying, "This is as close as we can get; there's a lot of security here. You can see the heavy crane going into the building. We've heard the sound of drilling; they're trying to recover everybody who they believe is still trapped." Israeli Emergency Worker Tami Kramer added, "We're currently, after about 20 hours of working on the site, trying to put together an intelligence picture to understand who was in which apartment, who wasn't home." President Isaac Herzog gave a statement condemning the attack and emphasizing Israel's commitment to defending itself and the region against further aggression. The incident underscores the ongoing tensions in the Middle East and the devastating impact of such attacks on civilian populations. Despite the tragedy, the coordinated efforts of the emergency services offer a glimmer of hope for the survivors and a testament to resilience in the face of adversity.
