WATCH: 6-Day-Old Baby Rescued Alive from Rubble After Iranian Missile Strike in Central Israel

In one of the most gut-wrenching moments of the Iran-Israel war so far, a six-day-old baby was miraculously rescued from the wreckage of a home in central Israel after a direct missile strike launched by Iranian forces. The infant, barely a week old, had been buried under debris when the missile obliterated part of a residential building during a massive barrage aimed at civilian neighbourhoods.

Video footage from the scene captures the terrifying aftermath: smoke billowing through shattered homes, rescue teams racing against time, and medics treating the new-born with the utmost care as sirens continued to wail in the background. The baby was pulled out alive and is now in stable condition at a nearby hospital. But for Israelis across the country, the moment symbolized a nightmare reality, missiles from a hostile regime targeting the most vulnerable members of society.

“This is what the fanatical regime targets: our children, our families,” said a senior Israeli official. “We will not stand by. We will continue to defend our people from the world’s most dangerous regime, whatever it takes.”

The missile was part of a broader and intensifying wave of long-range rocket fire launched by Iran, deliberately aimed at densely populated areas deep inside Israel. Dozens of civilians were injured in the latest barrage, and thousands spent the night huddled in shelters, clutching their children and hoping the next siren wouldn’t bring a direct hit. The emotional toll is growing as daily routines are shattered, homes destroyed, and communities forced to live in a constant state of fear.

A spokesperson from the Prime Minister’s Office expressed what many Israelis are feeling: “The red lines were crossed long ago. When they aim for our babies, we do what is necessary to stop them.”

The rescue of the infant, while miraculous, has further underscored the indiscriminate nature of the attacks. Iran's missile strategy does not distinguish between military targets and civilians, it strikes homes, schools, and hospitals. The Iranian regime has made it clear: every Israeli, regardless of age or status, is a target.

For families across Israel, the fear is no longer abstract. It is tangible, personal, and immediate. The sound of air-raid sirens no longer signals a rare threat, it is part of daily life. And when even newborns are pulled from rubble, the stakes of this war are no longer just political, they are existential.

As Israel ramps up its military response, many are calling for international recognition of the blatant war crimes being committed against Israeli civilians. But as long as rockets continue to fall, Israel remains united in its resolve: to protect its people, to defend its borders, and to ensure that no child ever again has to be dug from the ruins of their home.
