Authorities in Beersheba began demolishing an apartment complex in the southern city on October 8th, 2025, which was directly struck by an Iranian ballistic missile during the final hours of June’s 12-day war. The missile attack on June 24 resulted in four fatalities: Cpl. Eitan Zacks, 18, his mother Michal Zacks, 50, his girlfriend Noa Boguslavsky, 18, and neighbor Naomi Shaanan, 73. The building, described as relatively new and featuring reinforced safe rooms, sustained extensive destruction when the missile directly impacted two safe rooms on the sixth floor. The impact, reportedly from a 500-kilogram warhead, led to the partial collapse of the structure, with one bomb-safe room being completely destroyed. This demolition occurs within the reporting window of 10/8/2025, 10:08:59 PM to 10/9/2025, 12:06:33 AM UTC. While this specific incident occurred in June, its aftermath is being addressed now. The previous reporting period, ending at 10:08 PM UTC on October 8th, 2025, noted reports of unmanned aircraft launched from Yemen being intercepted near Israel's Sderot area, with no prior warnings activated. Additionally, a senior Iranian lawmaker claimed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had lifted all restrictions on Iran's missile range earlier in that period, suggesting ongoing regional tensions.
