Difference in reporting
Sources factually disagree on the strike date: Israel Hayom reports April 5; Ynet reports April 6; Srugim does not specify a date. The remaining facts are uniform: Michael Katz, 82, died after fighting injuries for three months following a direct Iranian missile hit on his Haifa home, and he had worked for Rafael.
