RAMAT GAN, Israel — A couple killed in an Iranian missile strike has been identified as Yaron and Ilana Moshe, as Iran continued firing overnight barrages into central Israel, authorities said Wednesday.

The Moshes, both in their 70s, were killed early Wednesday when a cluster munition struck their apartment in Ramat Gan, just outside Tel Aviv. Police said the couple was attempting to reach a reinforced safe room but did not make it in time, and were found only meters away. A walker discovered near the scene indicated the husband had limited mobility, which may have slowed their escape.

The strike caused severe damage to the home, blowing apart the living room, collapsing sections of the ceiling and scattering debris throughout the apartment. The protected room itself remained largely intact despite the blast.

Emergency officials said the couple was found dead at the scene. Two others were treated for light shrapnel injuries, while additional residents were hurt while rushing to shelters or suffered from shock.

The attack was part of a series of missile barrages launched by Iran between midnight and early morning, with multiple rounds of fire reported across central Israel. Authorities said cluster munitions have been used throughout the conflict, dispersing smaller explosives over residential areas and increasing the risk to civilians.

A neighbor described hearing a loud explosion after sirens sounded and emerging to find heavy smoke, cracked walls and widespread destruction. The entrance to the couple’s apartment was blown open, with a large hole visible in the ceiling and significant damage to the balcony.

The couple is scheduled to be laid to rest later Wednesday.
