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

The missile strike on a bomb shelter in Beit Shemesh killed nine and injured 28, marking the deadliest single attack since the conflict began, officials said.

  • On Sunday, March 1, 2026, an Iranian ballistic missile struck Beit Shemesh, killing at least nine and leaving 11 missing after hitting a public bomb shelter and nearby houses, destroying a synagogue and collapsing the shelter.
  • Following the killing of Iran's supreme leader, Iran fired repeated waves of missiles and drones targeting Israel and US bases across the Middle East.
  • Emergency crews combed rubble at the impact area as Magen David Adom reported 28 people hospitalised, including two in serious and two in moderate condition.
  • The strike also caused air-raid sirens and casualties among regional civilian populations, with Israel's toll rising to 10 and three US service members killed, as acknowledged by the US military.
  • Concerns about shelter resilience emerged as officials warned Israel's Home Front Command bomb shelters may not withstand heavy artillery, while Iranian missiles and drones hit the United Arab Emirates and Gulf states, killing civilians and damaging infrastructure.
