Israeli media reported that at least 18 settlers were injured in the latest Iranian missile strike.

According to an Israeli media platform, “only one rocket was launched from Iran.” It landed near a Microsoft building, triggering fires at the site.

Yedioth Ahronoth cited the Israeli-controlled Beer al-Sabe' municipality as saying the impact was a direct hit, not caused by shrapnel.

Notably, several key Israeli military installations are located near Microsoft’s branch in the area, including the Military Computer Communications Unit, the Israeli army’s Communications and Intelligence City, and branches of companies such as Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.

The Iranian strike caused damage to settler homes and set several vehicles ablaze. Sirens were heard across the al-Naqab in the southern part of the occupied Palestinian territory.

Furthermore, the Israel Railways company announced the closure of the Beer al-Sabe' station after it sustained damage from the missile strike.

As "Israel" continues its attacks on Iranian territory, Iran has been responding to the aggression under Operation True Promise 3, targeting Israeli military and strategic positions across the occupied Palestinian territories with ballistic missiles and drones.
