STORYLINE:
Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited the site of an Iranian missile strike in Beersheva, southern Israel on Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters at the scene, Herzog said "what we’ve seen here is outrageous and extremely painful."
"That missile, which is one of the heaviest missiles of the Iranians, it’s called Ghadr," he added.
A tentative truce faltered Tuesday when Israel accused Iran of launching missiles into its airspace after the ceasefire was supposed to take effect and vowed to retaliate.
In Beersheba, first responders said they retrieved four bodies from one building and were searching for more.
The streets around the impact site were littered with glass and debris, windows were blown out of buildings as anxious neighbors stood outside their damaged houses.
Three people were rescued from nearby buildings.
The direct hit in the largest city in southern Israel came just days after the city’s hospital sustained significant damage in a missile strike.
