Etti Cohen Angel, 74, and Israel Aloni, 73, were killed overnight into Saturday in Iranian missile strikes on Israel. A third victim of the strikes has yet to be named. Angel was killed in the Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Gan, and Aloni was killed in the central Israeli city of Rishon Letzion. Speaking to Channel 13 News, Aloni's son, Eran, said their family is heartbroken. "My father was a wonderful person, always helping others, a good man," he said. "Yesterday, he visited us with my mom, my sister and my brother. We were supposed to meet again at noon, but that will never happen now."Report: IDF strikes in Iran stopped regime from retaliating with 1,000 ballistic missilesIDF declares Iran as primary warfront, downgrades Gaza to secondary arenaHow Netanyahu's inner circle hid Israel's attack on IranAloni worked as a barber for 60 years in Rishon Letzion, and had ten grandchildren.
