Five members of a Ukrainian family lost their lives in an Iranian missile strike on the Israeli coastal city of Bat Yam, just three days after Israel launched "Operation Rising Lion" targeting the Iranian regime's nuclear weapons program.

Among the victims of the Iranian missile strike in Bat Yam was 7-year-old Nastya Burik, who had come to Israel in December 2022 to undergo life-saving cancer treatment. She was accompanied by her mother, Maria Pashkurova, 30, and her grandmother, Lena, 60, as well as two young cousins, Konstantin Totvich, 9, and Ilya Pashkurov, 13, who were enrolled in a local school in Bat Yam. According to Ynet News, all five were killed in the attack.

Nastya’s father, Artem, was unable to travel due to wartime restrictions in Ukraine that prevent men younger than 60 from leaving the country, and he continued to raise funds for his daughter’s treatment. Lena’s husband also remained behind.
