Missile event in Israel on Sat 28th February 2026

Firefighters from the Coastal District responded to a fragment that penetrated the 20th floor of an apartment building and came to rest on the 14th floor. Medical teams at the scene reported one person in light condition. Forces were searching the building to rule out anyone trapped.

Haifa Station Commander Deputy Fire Chief Kobi Mizrahi said, “We identified an impact on the 20th floor of the building, which caused damage affecting down to the 14th floor. Our crews operated at the scene to rule out trapped individuals, prevent fire outbreaks and ensure no damage was caused to the building’s infrastructure.” Eliran, a resident of the building, told ynet, “We experienced a great miracle. It appears to have been a large interceptor fragment that landed here. We heard a huge explosion and by sheer luck there is only one person lightly hurt. The damage is extensive, but the main thing is that forces are here assisting. All residents of the building will be evacuated soon, we were promised.”
