Palestinian medics say 3 Palestinians killed in West Bank from Iranian missile attack

The missile strike, crossing from Iran toward Israel, killed three Palestinian women in Beit Awwa, marking the first Iranian-caused Palestinian deaths in the West Bank during the conflict.

  • On March 18, the Palestinian Red Crescent and WAFA said an Iranian missile crossed into the Palestinian Authority and killed three Palestinian women inside a beauty salon in Beit Awwa.
  • Iran has been launching daily missiles toward Israel amid a regional conflict after U.S.-Israeli attacks at the end of February, killing at least 15 people; on Tuesday the Palestinian Foreign Ministry said a Palestinian woman died from an Iranian missile in the UAE.
  • Thirteen people were wounded, one seriously, and Israeli defense officials offered assistance while Palestinian authorities said they had brought the area under control.
  • The Palestinian Authority condemned the missile fire as threatening stability, Hamas did not condemn Iran, and most Israelis have bomb shelters while Palestinians in the West Bank have virtually none.
  • With Eid al-Fitr approaching, West Bank streets have been crowded as Palestinian families purchase supplies, increasing civilian exposure amid cross-border strikes; Israel reported heavy damage to a building in its centre but no injuries.
