26 injured in missile strike on Be'er Sheva

 Twenty-six people were injured Monday, one moderately and the rest lightly, when an Iranian missile struck the southern city of Be’er Sheva.

Magen David Adom (MDA) teams treated them at the scene and evacuated them to the hospital. All of the injuries were caused by broken glass.

MDA paramedic Dvir Ben Ze'ev said: "We received numerous calls to MDA's 101 hotline about shrapnel falling in the neighborhood. When we arrived, we saw a street with destruction and damage to the facades of houses. Injured people came toward us, frightened and suffering from minor shrapnel injuries."

"We set up an organized area to perform a quick triage and transfer the victims to the hospitals in the most efficient way," added Ben Ze'ev.

On Sunday, nine people were killed and 48 others injured as a result of a direct hit on a synagogue in Beit Shemesh.

Security officials assessed that it was a direct hit by an Iranian missile, and that the interceptor likely missed.
