Iranian Missiles Kill Civilians in Israel and Occupied West Bank

HeadlineMar 19, 2026

In the occupied West Bank, three Palestinians were killed and 13 others injured on Wednesday night when parts of an intercepted Iranian missile fell on a hair salon near Hebron. The dead included two adults and a 17-year-old. Few Palestinians in the West Bank have access to fortified shelters, unlike in Israel, where bomb shelters are common.

In Israel, an Iranian cluster munition ripped through the Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Gan Wednesday, killing an elderly couple in their home. Police said they failed to reach a fortified safe room in their apartment before it was struck. Elsewhere, a man described as a foreign worker was killed by a missile attack in Israel’s Sharon area. Israel’s Health Ministry reported 177 people were taken to hospitals with injuries over just 24 hours.
