3 of 4 Israelis Killed in Beer Sheva Strike Identified, Including Mother and Son

The identities of three Israelis killed in an Iranian attack on a Beer Sheva building have been released. A fourth is not known af this time.

Corporal Eitan Zacks Hy”d, 18, from Be’er Sheva, a soldier in combat training in the Multidimensional Unit (888), his mother Michal Hy”d, 50, and Noa Bogoslavsky Hy”d, a 12th-grade student from Arad, were identified Tuesday.

Emergency medical services reported that in addition to the fatalities, two people sustained moderate injuries and 20 others were lightly hurt.

The Israeli Health Ministry indicated a broader impact across the country from Iranian missile attacks, with 116 people arriving at hospitals. This total included three in moderate condition, 107 with light injuries, five suffering from anxiety, and one patient still under evaluation.
Rescue teams are continuing to search the partially collapsed seven-story apartment building in Beersheva for additional victims.

Yair Maayan, the Mayor of Arad , eulogized Noa, saying: “With deep sorrow and great pain, I extend condolences and share in the heavy mourning of the Boguslavsky family from Arad on the murder of their daughter Noa, z”l, a 12th-grade graduate from Ort Arad High School, who was killed this morning by a missile strike in Be’er Sheva.” He added, “Noa was part of the Arad family, a young girl at the beginning of her journey, and the pain of her loss is felt in every corner of the city. All of Arad embraces the dear family in their difficult time and sends them warmth, comfort, and strength to get through the difficult days ahead.”

Eitan’s father survived as he was in a different room at the time of impact. An initial investigation by the Home Front Command revealed that the Iranian missile penetrated two protected rooms on the sixth floor, where the four victims were located.

Rescue teams successfully found three survivors inside a protected room (Mamad) on the fourth floor of the struck building, more than an hour after the incident. Searches for additional missing persons are ongoing, with concerns about the building’s structural integrity.

Early Tuesday morning, the IDF identified multiple missile launches from Iran toward Israeli territory in three separate barrages. Iran fired a total of six barrages at Israel up to and shortly after the start of the ceasefire that US President Donald Trump announced overnight.
The first barrage, launched shortly after 5:00 a.m. and consisting of two missiles, was intercepted with no reported impacts or injuries.

A second barrage, launched shortly after 5:30 a.m., included four missiles, one of which directly hit the seven-story building in Beersheva. Magen David Adom (MDA) treated three individuals in critical condition—a man around 40 years old, a woman around 30, and a young man around 20—who were later pronounced dead. A fourth victim was located later. Ten other people with moderate and light injuries from this barrage were evacuated to Soroka Hospital.

At 6:53 a.m., the Home Front Command detected a fifth barrage, with sirens sounding in northern Israel, including Haifa, around 6:56 a.m. Multiple missiles were fired and intercepted without reported injuries. A sixth barrage was reported at 7:15 a.m., triggering sirens in the Sharon region and northern Israel.
In Hadera, a 15-year-old girl sustained moderate injuries, likely from missile interception debris.

MDA Senior EMT Shimrit Sela, at the Beersheva impact site, described the scene to Arutz Sheva: “We saw thick smoke rising from the impact site, and as we got closer, we saw extensive destruction to several buildings. Outside one of the buildings, we saw an unconscious man lying at the entrance. When we went inside to search the building, we found a man and a woman unconscious. We set up a triage point for the injured and are conducting medical checks on residents coming out of the buildings.”
The Southern District Police Commander, Commissioner Chaim Bublil, who was on site, confirmed ongoing searches in the damaged building, noting that part of it is at risk of collapse. He added that three additional residential buildings still need to be searched, and casualties were even reported inside protected rooms.

A third barrage was identified just after 6:10 a.m., prompting sirens in central Israel, the Shfela, and Sharon regions. Three missiles were intercepted. A fourth barrage followed shortly after 6:30 a.m., triggering sirens ten minutes later in central Israel, the Sharon region, the Shefla region, and Samaria, involving two to three missiles.

These Iranian volleys occurred hours after US President Donald Trump announced a 12-hour ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which was set to begin at 7:00 a.m. Israel time on Tuesday morning.

President Yitzchak Herzog visited the missile impact site in Beersheva following this morning’s attack. Touring the area where the Iranian missile killed four residents and injured at least 22 others, also causing damage to homes and a kindergarten, Herzog stated, “That missile, which is one of the heaviest missiles in the Iranian arsenal, way above 400 kilos, landed here specifically to kill women, children, the elderly, people living ordinary lives.”
