Israel’s Beersheva in Iran’s ‘crosshairs’ after second attack in two days

There hasn’t been an official Israeli military statement yet, except for the comment to Israeli media that there seems to have been a malfunction in the interception system, which led to the direct impact of that one missile, which we saw in Beersheba. There is extensive damage to many buildings. Israelis posted on social media showing damage to their windows and furniture. Five people were lightly injured, and 30 were reported to have been treated for panic. We don’t know if Iran had launched one lone missile or several, and whether others were intercepted. We are still waiting to see an official statement from the Israeli army. But certainly this area, which is less densely populated than central Israel, seems to be in the crosshairs . We saw a significant volley yesterday around the same time that left a lot of damage to Soroka hospital, the main hospital that serves southern Israel. Right now, only light injuries and that one impact, pictures of which have been cleared by the Israeli military censor. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh reports.
