At least 19 people were injured Monday when an Iranian ballistic missile hit the southern city of Beersheba, amid several barrages fired throughout the day. All 19 were taken to Soroka Medical Center after the missile slammed into a residential area, damaging surrounding apartment buildings, medics said. The Magen David Adom emergency service said it treated a 35-year-old man in moderate condition. The other 18 were lightly injured. Resident Amit, who lives in a building near where the missile hit, told the Kan public broadcaster that after a missile alert was issued, many people gathered in the building’s shelter. Amit said he, along with some others, sat close to the shelter door. Moments before the missile hit, someone opened the door, and the shockwave from the explosion rushed into the room.

There was a shockwave, the whole shelter filled with dust, and we suddenly started suffocating,” he said. “We just wanted to get out.” Amit said that when people left the shelter, they found that their building was “completely smashed. Everything was turned over on the floor.” Iran has repeatedly fired missiles at Israel since the start of a US-Israel bombing campaign over the weekend. Most of the missiles have been intercepted by air defense systems, but some have hit their mark, killing 11 people and injuring several dozen so far. Monday’s barrages set off air raid sirens across the country, including in the capital Jerusalem, sending millions to bomb shelters. Sirens also sounded in the nearby city of Beit Shemesh, during the funeral of several victims of Sunday’s Iranian missile impact, which killed nine and injured dozens. Videos taken from the funeral showed mourners taking cover as multiple booms could be heard in the city. IRGC says it targeted Netanyahu; PMO: Fake news Meanwhile, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which controls the country’s missile arsenal, said one of the projectiles targeted the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem and the headquarters of the Israeli Air Force at the Kirya military base in Tel Aviv. “The office of the criminal prime minister of the Zionist regime and the headquarters of the regime’s air force commander were targeted,” the Guards said in a statement carried by Fars news agency. It said Kheibar missiles were used in the attack. The Prime Minister’s Office quickly dismissed the claim as “fake news,” and there were no reports of any missile impacts in Jerusalem. The Iranian regime has been known to oversell its military achievements for propaganda purposes. A missile alert in Jerusalem did, however, cause several members of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee to take shelter, interrupting a special closed session in which they were receiving an operational intelligence review of the war, as well as holding a vote approving the declaration of a “special situation” on the Home Front. During the alert, members of the committee from both the coalition and opposition took shelter in the chambers of the Diaspora Affairs Committee, which is reinforced as a bomb shelter. The lawmakers snapped a selfie together in a show of wartime unity, then posted it to social media. IDF sees Iran trying for larger barrages The Israeli military assesses that Iran is now attempting to launch larger and more coordinated ballistic missile barrages at Israel, resulting in longer lulls between attacks, The Times of Israel learned Monday. The first day of fighting on Saturday saw small salvos of 2-3 projectiles each, with short breaks between them, keeping Israelis rushing in and out of shelters. Sunday then saw a smaller number of barrages consisting of 9-30 missiles at a time, with long breaks between each launch, according to the IDF Home Front Command. Iran did not launch any missiles at Israel overnight. The IDF believes Iran is struggling to coordinate the larger attacks, of dozens of missiles at a time, as the Israeli Air Force hunts down its missile launchers. The Home Front Command also confirmed that Iran had fired a ballistic missile with a cluster bomb warhead at central Israel on Saturday night. As of Monday, 11 people had been killed as a result of Iranian ballistic missile attacks on Israel since the full-scale conflict began Saturday. In addition to the nine killed in the strike on Beit Shemesh on Sunday, a 32-year-old woman was killed Saturday in a direct strike in Tel Aviv, and a 102-year-old man died from wounds sustained in a fall while rushing to a shelter amid missile sirens in Ramat Gan.
