An Iranian missile directly struck the Aleh campus in Bnei Brak, severely damaging the facility and nearby buildings; An elderly man was killed and dozens narrowly escaped after finding a locked shelter and fleeing moments before it collapsed

A special education institution serving approximately 300 children and teens with disabilities was severely damaged in a nighttime attack. Founder of the ALEH network, Rabbi Yehuda Marmorstein called it a "profound pain" and added that "we must rebuild swiftly.”
“We rushed to the rooftop, saw the missiles exploding in the sky—and then a massive boom,” according to a local resident. The body of an elderly man in his 80s was recovered from the rubble of a nearby building.

In a devastating escalation of hostilities, the sprawling campus of ALEH—an educational and rehabilitative network for children with disabilities—suffered a direct hit from a missile launched from Iran in the early hours of Monday. The impact caused widespread destruction. An elderly man in his 80s was killed in a neighboring building. A nearby municipal school building collapsed entirely, and the ALEH facility, which serves some 300 children and youth with complex needs, sustained severe structural damage.

Notably, the ALEH school, inaugurated five years ago, includes a shelter meant to serve the neighborhood’s residents. However, when residents attempted to seek refuge there during the attack, they found the door locked and were forced to flee to another shelter—ultimately saving their lives. Had they entered the closed shelter, many might have been buried beneath the rubble.
