A direct hit from an Iranian missile damaged four houses in a West Bank town on Monday morning as Iran launched several waves of missile attacks on Monday morning, following an earlier rocket launched by Yemen's Houthis.

No injuries were reported, according to the local regional council.

"The incident ended in a great miracle," said Samaria Regional Council Head Yossi Dagan, "but it illustrates the urgent need to strengthen protection in the communities."

Following instructions from the Health Ministry and IDF's Home Front Command, Sourasky Medical Center's Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv, the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, and Tzafon Medical Center in Poriya have shifted into emergency protocol, moving their operations underground and into protected spaces.

"We are prepared to provide the best and safest medical response to the residents of the north, and we will continue to do so under any scenario and situation," said Galilee Medical Center Director Prof. Masad Barhoum.

As well, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir and senior military officers are orchestrating and commanding strikes from an Israel Air Force bunker, the military said on Monday morning, adding that it is "alert and ready for continued action on all fronts against those who threaten the State of Israel."

IRGC claims to have targeted IAF bases in strikes

Following Iran's strikes, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Monday claimed that it had targeted the Tel Nof and Nevatim IAF bases in response to Israel's strikes on Iranian territory and in memory of their dead from the 12-Day War in June 2025, according to Iran's IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency.
