HY'D: Michael Katz, an 82-year-old resident of Haifa, was niftar Wed morning from wounds he sustained more than three months ago when an Iranian ballistic missile struck his apartment building during Operation Roaring Lion. The April 5 missile strike directly hit a six-story apartment building, destroying its lower three floors. Michael was rescued from the rubble in critical condition and rushed to Rambam Hospital, where doctors fought to save his life. The same attack claimed the lives of four members of the Gershovitz family, making it the deadliest missile strike on Haifa during the war.
