Fact Check: Seven People Killed in Iranian Missile Barrage on Israel

What We Know

On Sunday morning, reports emerged that seven individuals were killed following an Iranian missile barrage on central Israel. This incident involved multiple missile strikes, with significant damage reported in cities such as Bat Yam and Rehovot. According to Magen David Adom, the Israeli emergency service, two additional bodies were recovered from a collapsed building in Bat Yam, contributing to the reported fatalities. The strikes resulted in at least 130 injuries, with a mass casualty event declared at one of the impact sites (Haaretz, JPost).

The missile attacks were part of a broader conflict, with Iran retaliating against Israeli airstrikes that had targeted its nuclear program and military officials (AP News). The Iranian government claimed that these strikes were a response to significant casualties inflicted on Iranian civilians by Israeli actions (AP News).

Analysis

The claim that "seven people were killed following the Iranian missile barrage on central Israel on Sunday morning, and two additional bodies were recovered from a collapsed building in Bat Yam" is supported by multiple sources. The Associated Press and Haaretz both confirm that seven fatalities occurred due to the missile strikes, with specific details about the casualties, including children among the deceased.

However, there is some inconsistency in the reporting regarding the total number of fatalities. While some sources, such as Haaretz, report six deaths specifically from the missile impact in Bat Yam, others, including JPost, confirm a total of seven deaths across the affected areas. This discrepancy may arise from the timing of the reports and the evolving nature of casualty counts during ongoing conflicts.

The reliability of the sources varies; the Associated Press is generally considered a credible news organization, while Haaretz and JPost are reputable Israeli news outlets. However, the potential for bias exists, particularly in the context of reporting on military conflicts, where narratives may be influenced by national perspectives.

Conclusion

The claim is Partially True. While it is accurate that seven people were reported killed following the Iranian missile barrage, the details surrounding the casualties are somewhat inconsistent across different sources. The recovery of two additional bodies from a collapsed building in Bat Yam aligns with the reports, but the exact number of fatalities may vary depending on the source and the timing of the reports. Therefore, while the core claim holds merit, the nuances in casualty figures warrant a cautious interpretation.

Fact Check: Transcript 00:00 911 was a false flag. For the first 10 years, I did not think anything other than the official narrative then after being shown a video, a close up video of building number seven coming down and that got me going because it's obvious to me that building seven was was a controlled demolition because the building collapses from the bottom down. The trade centers were unique in that they were designed to withstand the 00:33 impact of a a a jet. From what I understand the the outer skeleton of the building. The outer columns was like a a fish net and you had these inner core columns which was substantial thick steel beams to withstand four or five times what the loads were. Got it. The engineers always over design a building. No steel frame building has ever collapsed before or since 9/ eleven. So that should say something right there. And it said that building seven it was 01:05 aggressive collapse that it was caused by fire but progressive collapse unlike the twin towers, the twin towers collapse from the top down. That's a progressive collapse. Sure. Floor by floor by floor. But if you look at the videos of building seven collapsing, it collapses uniformly, it's collapsing from the bottom, the building stays intact all the way to the bottom of the ground and you could see the sides caving in on it. For a building to collapse uniformly which the video show all the load bearing it would have to have failed 01:36 simultaneously. Now, fire doesn't act like that. I came across an analogy of the twin towers and if you could visualize cast iron stoves stacked. One on top of each other. The stoves up at the top. Yes, there's fire and they've been damaged but the stoves on the bottom, they haven't been damaged. Okay. So, the structure underneath all of that is intact. So, it's impossible for a building to collapse near free fall speed and increase. Without a 02:07 controlled demolition. You're running into the path of most resistance. I something else is going on. I don't believe that it was just the planes or the fires I think that and they examine the dust and they found what they call thermitic material which is like a explosive incendiary which was in the dust samples and that's documented. There were reports of the buildings were undergoing a extensive elevator renovation in the two or three years prior to all kinds of 02:40 workers they had access to the the core the cores of the building and on the day of the attack the the elevator company would not assist in the operations of the elevators and the elevator company was the elevator company it subsequently went out of business and a couple of years after that
