Approximately a week after an Iranian missile struck a residential area in Beersheba, residents continue to deal with the aftermath, collecting shattered glass and debris. The buildings around the blast site are visibly damaged, with uprooted doors, shattered windows, and plastic tape securing hazardous areas. Temporary command centers have been established in the neighborhood, bustling daily with city workers, military personnel, and volunteers from the civil aid organization 'One Heart'.

The Beersheba municipality has designated 11 buildings as uninhabitable, resulting in the complete evacuation of 214 apartments, affecting around 655 residents. Among these evacuees are those whose homes were completely destroyed, as well as others whose homes sustained significant damage. Most evacuees have been informed that renovations are expected to take a long time, with at least a year before they will be able to return home. However, not all affected residents have been evacuated; some remain in apartments deemed 'habitable' despite having broken windows, leading to distress and confusion among those left behind.

Seventy-year-old Tatyana Gerbernik is among those still in her home with shattered windows that have been temporarily sealed by volunteers. Since her apartment has been classified as habitable, she is not entitled to evacuation assistance, which leaves her facing uncomfortable and cold conditions. This situation highlights the challenges residents face in navigating governmental classifications of safety and the criteria for evacuation after the devastating missile incident.
