Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited the site of a deadly cluster-missile strike in Ramat Gan on Wednesday to console the Moshe family, mourning the deaths of Ilana and Yaron Moshe.

He called the attack “unimaginably cruel” and urged Israelis to remain vigilant and united.

Herzog expressed solidarity with Ramat Gan Mayor Carmel Shama-Hacohen, city officials and residents across the country affected by the recent attacks, saying the nation’s spirit “will not be broken.”

Yaron and Ilana Moshe, a couple in their 70s, were reportedly on their way to the safe room in their home when a cluster munition hit, destroying their apartment and killing them both.

“My wife Sara and I, together with all the citizens of Israel, send our heartfelt condolences to the family of Yaron and Ilana Moshe, the couple who were murdered by an Iranian missile strike in central Israel,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a statement. “May their memory be blessed.”
