An Iranian missile has struck a residential building in Israel’s northern city of Haifa, the Israeli military said, injuring four people according to rescue services, reports AFP.

The strike took place minutes after the military warned it had detected a new round of missiles fired from Iran.

The building was hit by a “direct impact of a missile”, a military spokesperson told AFP, confirming the missile was fired from Iran.

Israel’s emergency service, Magen David Adom (MDA), said four people were wounded when the seven-storey building sustained a direct hit. Israel’s Fire and Rescue Services said firefighters were searching for three missing people.
