At least nine killed after Iranian strike on Israel’s Beit Shemesh

Nine people died and 28 were injured when an Iranian missile struck a bomb shelter in Beit Shemesh, marking the deadliest strike since the conflict began, officials said.

  • On Sunday, an Iranian ballistic missile struck Beit Shemesh, hitting a public bomb shelter and collapsing nearby buildings, causing heavy structural damage.
  • After the February 28 strikes that killed Iran's supreme leader, Iran's missile and drone forces launched retaliatory attacks across the region.
  • At the impact site, emergency crews from Magen David Adom, ZAKA and United Hatzalah combed rubble while many people were trapped, and some critically injured victims were airlifted to Shaare Zedek Medical Center.
  • Air-Raid sirens triggered nationwide as Israeli Air Force did not deploy an Arrow interceptor and several interceptors failed; Home Front Command teams are operating at the impact site while circumstances are under review.
  • The barrage confirmed by Israel has included about 700 air sorties and targeted US bases, with the US acknowledging three service members killed during operations.
