The daily Yedioth Ahronoth, citing Israel’s ambulance service MDA, said the injured included four people who sustained critical injuries in the attack.

The emergency service added that several people remained missing as search and rescue operations continue at the site.

Beit Shemesh Mayor Shmuel Greenberg said that there were 20 residents that had not been able to be reached, according to The Times of Israel news portal.

He, however, stressed that “it does not necessarily mean anything happened to them.”

The U.S. and Israel launched an attack on Iran on Saturday, killing several top Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Tehran retaliated with a series of drone and missile attacks.

Israel and the U.S. launched a similar attack on Iran last June, triggering a 12-day war before a ceasefire was announced.
