Four people died in overnight Iranian missile attacks that targeted multiple locations across Israel and the West Bank from Wednesday night into Thursday morning, according to emergency services reports.
Warning sirens blared six separate times during an eight-hour period from midnight to 8 a.m. Thursday, signaling continuous incoming attacks. Emergency responders from Magen David Adom reported that a 30-year-old foreign worker sustained fatal shrapnel injuries in Moshav Adanim and died from critical wounds.
Near Hebron in the village of Beit Awwa, three Palestinian women lost their lives while 13 others sustained injuries, with two victims remaining in critical condition, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported. Palestinian Authority officials named the deceased women as Sahira, Amal and Mais Masalma, whose ages were 50, 36 and 17 respectively.
These deaths represent the first Palestinian casualties in the West Bank since the ongoing conflict involving America, Israel and Iran commenced.
A separate projectile struck a residence in Neta, located close to Beit Awwa, resulting in extensive property damage. Video evidence from the bombardment suggested that Iranian forces deployed cluster munitions in at least one of the attacks.
Property damage occurred across several other locations during the assault. A Tel Aviv building suffered considerable structural damage from a direct hit.
On Wednesday before the overnight attacks, three people sustained minor injuries in Petah Tikva in central Israel – a 44-year-old adult and two children aged 13 and 12.
Emergency alert systems also activated in Haifa, the Galilee region, the Golan Heights and near Eilat in southern Israel, although no casualties were documented in those locations.
