Three Palestinian women killed in beauty salon during Iranian missile attack

At least three Palestinian women have been killed and eight more injured when a beauty salon in the Israeli-occupied West Bank was hit during an Iranian missile attack. The Israeli military told the BBC the women were killed "by a direct hit from a cluster munition missile". The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said there was a "direct impact of missile shrapnel". The incident happened in the town of Beit Awwa, near Hebron, on Wednesday night. The women are the first Palestinians killed in the West Bank as a result of the Iran war. At around the same time, a Thai worker was also killed from shrapnel which hit a farming community in Israel, Israeli medics said. The Israeli military had said it was working to intercept an Iranian missile attack shortly before the strikes. The salon was in a prefabricated metal structure close to a house. Locals said a bomb or part of a bomb landed yards away and ricocheted into the salon. A group of women were gathered on steps nearby, waiting to have their nails done ahead of the Eid al-Fitr holiday when explosion happened. The walls and door were raked with holes, while a large hole in the wall of the building showing where shrapnel blew out
