Iranian Missile Strikes Southern Occupied Territories Amid Israeli Air Defense Lapses
An Iranian missile hit the center of Be'er Sheva in southern areas of the occupied territories early Friday, evading air defense systems and causing widespread concern throughout the Negev region.
A missile launched by Iran has hit the southern Israeli-controlled city of Be’er Sheva, representing a serious violation of Israel’s air defense capabilities. The incident has set off alarm sirens across the Negev region and the area surrounding the Dead Sea, raising heightened concerns.
The assault triggered air raid sirens across several regions, including Be’er Sheva and the vicinity of the Dead Sea, inciting panic among Israeli residents.
Regional media outlets have released footage depicting a significant plume of smoke emanating from the impact site in Be’er Sheva.
According to Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which referenced official sources, the Iron Dome missile defense system experienced another failure as an Iranian missile successfully breached its defenses.
Haaretz reported that a missile launched by Iran successfully bypassed interception, highlighting a potential vulnerability in Israel’s highly acclaimed defense shield.
Israeli media has verified a missile impact, citing the Israeli army’s statement, “Reports have been received concerning a missile strike at a location in the southern region.”
In the aftermath of the attack, the Be’er Sheva train station was closed following damages incurred from a missile strike, as reported by Channel 12, citing information from Israel Railways.
Reports have emerged indicating that the missile struck in close proximity to a Microsoft facility, heightening concerns about the potential reach of the attack.
For the second consecutive occasion, sirens sounded in the Dead Sea area close to the Jordanian border, reportedly in response to a suspected drone incursion.
The military of the Zionist regime reported that it successfully intercepted two drones that were trying to penetrate what it designates as Israeli airspace.
Amid continued tensions, sirens once again sounded across the Dead Sea region, previously triggered by reported drone incursions, indicating ongoing Iranian pressures.
