thebalanced.newsIranian Missile Strike in West Bank Kills Three Palestinian Women, Injures Others
An Iranian missile strike hit the town of Beit Awwa in the occupied West Bank, killing at least three Palestinian women and injuring several others, including a fourth seriously wounded. The Palestinian Red Crescent and local medics responded to the incident, which reportedly involved cluster munitions or missile debris. This marks the first deadly Iranian attack in the West Bank since the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran began. Israel has not confirmed deliberate targeting of Palestinian areas, and most Palestinians lack bomb shelters unlike nearby Israeli settlements.
