Palestinian medics say 3 Palestinians killed in West Bank from Iranian missile attack
Fragments from an Iranian cluster-style missile killed three Palestinian women and wounded eight in Beit Awwa, marking the first Palestinian deaths in the Iran-Israel conflict, officials said.
- Late Wednesday, falling shrapnel struck a hair salon in Beit Awa, West Bank, killing three Palestinian women, the Palestine Red Crescent Society said these were the first Palestinian deaths from Iranian missile fire.
- The Israeli military said it had identified missile fire from Iran and was "operating to intercept" as Iran's Revolutionary Guards launched missiles and drones, triggering air-raid alerts across central and northern Israel and West Bank settlements.
- AFP images showed the salon's metal caravan roof punctured and civil defence workers inside, while the Red Crescent reported at least eight wounded, including one woman in critical condition.
- Magen David Adom described the victim as a "foreign worker" killed in Moshav Adanim, central Israel, and Thailand's foreign ministry confirmed the death of a Thai agricultural worker.
- Palestinian vice president Hussein al-Sheikh received a condemnation call from United Arab Emirates foreign minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and UAE state media noted attacks since the February 28 war start.
