The body of a Ukrainian woman was recovered Thursday from a site in central Israel four days after an Iranian missile strike, municipal officials in Israel’s Bat Yam said.

“The municipality of Bat Yam sadly announced that, in the past few minutes, a body was found at the site of the missile impact in the city,” a statement said, identifying the victim as Maria (Marina) Peshkarova, 31, who arrived in Israel in December 2022.

Including her, nine people were killed in the Sunday strike. Since the war began with Israeli attacks on Iran on Friday, 25 people have been killed in Israel, according to authorities.
