‘This whole place has gone’: Rehabilitation center heavily damaged in Hezbollah attack
Amid a Hezbollah drone attack on northern Israel, a treatment and rehabilitation center for people with disabilities was hit and severely damaged.
Beni Ben Muvchar, head of the Mevo’ot HaHermon Regional Council, tells Ynet that a likely Iron Dome interceptor landed in the center’s indoor pool and wreaked havoc, without causing casualties.
נזק כבד נגרם מפגיעת כטב"מ או מיירט במתקפה הערב למרכז השיקומי במבואות חרמון. זה המרכז הטיפולי היחיד שלנו, תושבי הגליל המזרחי. בנייתו ארכה שנים. pic.twitter.com/vK0Mu2e0fC

He says he had been in the center with his son minutes before the sirens sounded and the blast was heard.
“I survived, but this whole place has gone, windows were smashed and more,” he says.
“This was my life’s project, which I worked for years to establish and bring these important services to the area.”

IDF orders Gazans to evacuate more parts of Khan Younis
The IDF issues a new evacuation order for Palestinians in the Khan Younis area in the southern Gaza Strip, following rocket fire on southern Israel from those areas.
Four rockets were launched at the border community of Kissufim earlier on Saturday, causing no injuries.
Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, publishes a list of the zones that need to be evacuated.

The IDF is currently carrying out an offensive in Khan Younis. Before the raid, the IDF issued evacuation orders for other areas of Khan Younis.
