Four Dead in Overnight Iranian Attacks on Israel, West Bank

Iranian missile strikes using cluster munitions killed four people overnight Wednesday into Thursday, including a foreign worker in central Israel and three Palestinian women near Hebron. The attacks mark the first Palestinian casualties in the West Bank since the current conflict began between America, Israel and Iran.

Four people died in overnight Iranian missile attacks that struck multiple locations across Israel and the West Bank from Wednesday night into Thursday morning, according to emergency services.

Warning sirens blared six separate times during the eight-hour period from midnight to 8 a.m. Thursday as waves of incoming missiles targeted various regions. The Magen David Adom ambulance service reported that a 30-year-old foreign worker in Moshav Adanim sustained fatal shrapnel injuries and died from critical wounds.

Near Hebron in the West Bank village of Beit Awwa, three Palestinian women lost their lives while 13 others were injured, with two victims in critical condition, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society confirmed. Palestinian Authority officials named the deceased women as Sahira, Amal and Mais Masalma, aged 50, 36 and 17 respectively.

These deaths represent the first Palestinian fatalities in the West Bank since the ongoing conflict involving America, Israel and Iran began.

Video evidence from the attacks suggested that Iran deployed cluster munitions in at least one of the strikes. A separate projectile demolished a residence in Neta, located close to Beit Awwa, leaving extensive structural damage.

The missile barrage caused widespread destruction across multiple sites. A Tel Aviv building suffered major damage after taking a direct hit.

Wednesday’s earlier attacks wounded three people in Petah Tikva in central Israel – a 44-year-old man and two children aged 13 and 12 – though their injuries were reported as minor.

Emergency sirens also activated in Haifa, the Galilee region, the Golan Heights, and near Eilat in southern Israel, but authorities reported no casualties in those locations.
