"I feel an immense heartache. I feel bad seeing my entire house fall. I’m sad that all the equipment and all the memories and the content will simply fall down. Really, really, my heart is torn. It’s the house we came to five days after our wedding, and it’s sad in an incredibly, unreasonable way. My heart is truly torn. I am really, really, really sad."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Tzvika Brot, Mayor of Bat Yam:
"We took a strong hit, but our spirit is strong. Actually that was the biggest hit, the biggest disaster that the city ever had in nearly 100 years. In one day we lost nine of our people, 200 were injured and more than 2,000, more than 1% of our population are now homeless. They are living at hotels. But we are not looking at yesterday, we’re looking at tomorrow, and tomorrow we’ll be here, a lot of new buildings. We’re going to demolish 20 buildings, but we’re going to build them better, stronger. And there will be much more Israeli families running around here, and that will be the best answer to our enemies."

STORYLINE:
Israel began demolishing some of the buildings that were destroyed by Iranian missiles during the 12 day war.
In Bat Yam, just south of Tel Aviv, on the third day of the war, an Iranian missile tore through a building killing nine people, wounding dozens, and damaging or destroying hundreds of home.
"We took a strong hit… that was the biggest hit, the biggest disaster that the city ever had in nearly 100 years. In one day we lost nine of our people, 200 were injured," said Tzvika Brot, the Mayor of Bat Yam.
Israel, which has aimed its missiles at Iran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program and military leadership, said Iran has fired 550 missiles and over 1000 drones during the war.
31 of which slipped through the country’s sophisticated multi-tiered air defenses and caused havoc in residential suburbs, killing 28 people and wounding over 3000.
Israeli authorities said more than 9,000 people have been displaced from their home.
Over 12 days before a ceasefire was declared, Israel claimed it killed around 30 Iranian commanders and 11 nuclear scientists, while hitting eight nuclear-related facilities and more than 720 military infrastructure sites.
More than 1,000 people were killed, including at least 417 civilians, according to the Washington-based Human Rights Activists group.
