The missile struck a hair salon in the town of Beit Awwa, southwest of Hebron.

This represents the first deadly Iranian strike in the occupied West Bank and first to kill Palestinians since the U.S.-Israeli war began.

The attack used a cluster munition warhead that splits into multiple bomblets, causing widespread damage.

The strike triggered air raid sirens in southern Israel and Gaza border communities.

The attack caused thirteen additional people wounded, one seriously, according to Palestinian authorities.

Palestinian emergency services responded to the scene in Beit Awwa to treat victims.

The cluster munition used spreads destruction over wide areas, affecting civilian populations.

This represents a dangerous new front in the regional conflict.

The violence has reached occupied territories where Palestinians endure Israeli occupation and settlement expansion.

The strike occurred amid intensifying military operations between Iran, Israel, and the United States.
