Storyline: Survivors on Saturday recounted the devastation of a 14-story apartment building in northern Tehran, the capital of Iran, which was struck by an Israeli missile on June 13, the first day of renewed hostilities between Israel and Iran. The attack turned the building into rubble in seconds, killed nearly 50 people, including women and children, and left the community devastated and heartbroken. Amid the destruction, a family survived against the odds. The parents, sleeping in the westernmost unit, escaped. Their two children were trapped under debris, but a fallen mattress shielded them, sparing their lives. The children's mother recalled the terrifying ordeal, her voice trembling. Rescue worker Reza described the aftermath, fighting back emotion as he recalled what he saw. For the children, the attack left a lasting mark. Israel launched a series of major airstrikes on June 13 targeting nuclear and military sites across Iran, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians, and injuring many others, according to Iranian authorities. Iran retaliated with multiple waves of missile and drone attacks on Israeli territory. A ceasefire between the two countries was reached on June 24, ending 12 days of fighting. Official Iranian figures say that in the 12-day conflict, more than 1,200 residential units were attacked, with 400 completely destroyed, nearly 1,100 people killed, and 5,750 others injured.

My children were underneath. Yes, because we couldn't see them, we didn't know where to look for them. I kept calling out, 'Mohammad Masih' (my younger son's name), 'Mohammad Jawad' (my older son's name). Mohammad Jawad was very scared and didn't answer. Mohammad Masih said, 'Mom, I can see your feet.' Then my husband came over and removed some of the rubble. We stood by a door frame because we felt it was going to collapse." 6. Photos of victims killed in attack 7. Debris 8. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Reza, rescuer (full name not given): "I witnessed heartbreaking scenes. Unfortunately, I saw some civilians' bodies burnt and torn apart. I saw children being retrieved from the rubble of the collapsed building with the help of firefighters and rescuers. Their bodies were charred. I can only imagine the tragic fate their families will face. I hope such actions stop worldwide and never occur to any civilians, especially in any war. Regardless of their intentions or reasons, civilians should be kept away from danger." 9. Various of destroyed building, debris 10. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Jawad, survivor (full name not given) (partially overlaid with shot 11): "I was sleeping when suddenly I was thrown from my bed and hit the wall. When the missile struck my room, half a block fell and trapped me. At that moment, I jumped up and hit the wall. Then the mattress fell to the floor, and stones and other debris landed on it. Because of the mattress, the stones didn't crush me. My dad pulled me out, and we escaped the building." [SHOT OVERLAYING SOUNDBITE] 11.
