The article specifies the weapon was a cluster munition originating from Iran and that the impact set the building ablaze, but provides limited further detail on damage assessments or wider context.

Haaretz

Given only the Haaretz report is available in the provided sources, other outlets’ confirmations or differing accounts are not included here and the information should be treated as based solely on that reporting.

Local emergency response focused on evacuation and firefighting after the strike; roughly 30 people were moved out of the building and firefighters addressed the blaze, according to Haaretz.

The report does not supply granular details on how long the fire burned, whether neighbouring structures were affected, or which municipal or national emergency units led the response.

The absence of additional sourcing in the provided material means these operational details remain unclear.

The Haaretz piece attributes the strike to a missile launched from Iran; beyond that attribution, the provided article does not include statements from Iranian officials, Israeli authorities, or independent verification.

Because only one source is available in the supplied material, there is no ability here to cross-check attribution, motive, or whether Iran or any intermediary acknowledged responsibility.

Casualty reporting in the available article is clear but limited: Haaretz states there were no reported casualties among residents evacuated from the struck building.

The report does not address possible injuries among emergency responders, longer-term housing displacement for those evacuated, or whether follow-up aid was provided.

These gaps highlight the constrained scope of the single-source reporting supplied here.
