fire as their conflict grows. At least 10 people in Israel were killed in the overnight barrage. The missile struck towns in central and northern Israel. The city of Bat Yam near Tel Aviv is among the hardest hit, with multiple casualties being reported and some residents missing. The CBC's Crystal Gamansing is there. 61 buildings have been hit. We're being told that 10 of the buildings in this area

have been destroyed. Every once in a while, the workers who are digging through the rubble will pause and start shouting, looking for anyone who might be trapped under the rubble. We have been told that the number of missing has dropped throughout the day. Earlier, it started at about 30.

That number at last report was sitting around three people. Meanwhile, six individuals were killed in strikes here overnight. This neighborhood was just one of many along the coast that was hit overnight. Israeli officials with the military took the unprecedented step today of issuing an evacuation warning for people in Iran who happen to live by weapons manufacturing locations or any military sites. Iranian police are also reporting that they have arrested two Mossad intelligence officers that has not been confirmed. Crystal Gamancing, CBC News, Batiya, Israel.

Inspections of Air India's Boeing 787 aircraft are underway. Checks have already been done on nine of the planes. This on the orders of the Indian aviation regulator after last week's deadly crash. At least 270 people were killed when the London bound plane went down into a medical college shortly after takeoff. The CBC's South Asia correspondent Salima Shivjit is in India with the latest. Outside Ahmedabad's hospital morgue, it's a painful wait for answers for dozens of families tucked in a large tent, as the bodies of victims are slowly released once DNA testing is complete. More than 40 samples have been matched out of a death toll of more than 270 people. I've been trying to forget what I saw for the last two days, says Narendar Singh Chauhan.

He was one of the first rescuers to reach the devastating scene of the crash. We did what we could to save people, but it was impossible for so many. As investigators continue to sift through the wreckage for clues into what went wrong, India's entire fleet of Boeing 787s is being inspected to make sure they are safe. And the final words from the pilots distress call are circulating in local media. Thrust not achieved, falling. Mayday, mayday, mayday, he reportedly said, before communication was lost. Salima Shivji, CBC News, Ahmedabad, India. Seven people are dead after a helicopter crash in northern India.

It happened earlier today in the state of Uttarakhand as the chopper was heading to a prominent Hindu pilgrimage in the site of the Himalayas. Officials say the crash happened within minutes of takeoff on what was supposed to be a 10-minute flight. The crash is believed to have been caused by poor weather conditions. Officials say a wildfire near Squamish, B.C. is now classified as being held after help from cool, cloudy weather. The B.C. wildfire service says the blaze is expected to remain within its current perimeter based on fuel, weather and resource availability. The District of Squamish says the Dryden Creek wildfire has been held steady since Friday. Many nearby properties are still under evacuation alerts and those alerts will be re-evaluated

today. Stanley Cup final. As seen on Hockey Night in Canada, Brad Marsh and the Halifax native scored his second goal of the game to put the game out of reach for the Florida Panthers, who beat the Oilers 5-2 to grab a 3-2 series lead. Game 6 will shift back to Sunrise, Florida on Tuesday. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fague.
