Three Palestinians, including a teenager, were killed and 13 others injured on Wednesday night when missile fragments struck a hair salon near Hebron, in the occupied West Bank.
Wafa news agency reported that medical teams recovered the bodies of the three victims and responded to 13 injured women, two of whom are in critical condition. The injured were taken to Dura Governmental Hospital and other medical facilities in Hebron.
Local and medical sources identified the dead as Mais Ghazi Masalmeh, 17, Sahira Rizq Masalmeh, 50, and Amal Sobhi Abdel Karim Matawa’ Masalmeh, 36.
A medic told AFP that the projectile was fired from Iran.
Palestinian residents in the occupied West Bank do not have access to fortified shelters, which are common in Israel. Media reports say that Palestinians and foreign workers have been repeatedly denied entry to Israeli bomb shelters in the past.
