An Iranian missile struck the ALEH rehabilitation center in the Pardes Katz neighborhood of Bnei Brak for severely disabled children and teens in the pre-dawn hours of Monday morning, collapsing parts of the building and destroying therapy rooms and equipment. Tragically, Avraham Cohen, H’yd, 80, who lived in a neighboring building, was killed by the blast, and 21 people were injured. At the same time, it was an incredible neis that more people weren’t killed. Although the ALEH campus has a public bomb shelter, it was locked that night, and nearby residents turned to other bomb shelters, saving them from the building collapse. Additionally, ALEH is located between tall residential buildings with hundreds of residents.
