Three Palestinian women killed as missile debris hits West Bank beauty salon

Three Palestinian women were killed and eight others injured in Beit Awwa, a town in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, when missile debris struck a beauty salon on Wednesday night. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that the shrapnel hit the salon, a metal caravan, and other locations. The incident occurred shortly after Israel's military announced it was intercepting an Iranian missile attack. Separately, in Israel, a Thai worker was killed by shrapnel in Moshav Adanim. Response teams faced difficulties reaching the West Bank site due to closed iron gates, which impacted rescue efforts. The Israeli military has been contacted for comment.
