Iranian Missile Debris Falls Near Mahmoud Abbas’s Home, Wounds Children in Judea and Samaria

Missile debris from Iran’s latest ballistic barrage struck two locations on Sunday, igniting a rooftop fire in al-Bireh, just meters from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s residence, and wounding three children near the village of Sa’ir, according to local officials and eyewitnesses.

Residents of al-Bireh, the twin city of Ramallah, reported “a huge boom” at roughly 11:20 a.m. Video posted by Ramallah-based outlets showed jagged metal from what security sources identified as an Iranian Shahab-class missile embedded in a rooftop water tank.

Roughly 90 minutes later, additional fragments — believed to be from a missile intercepted high over central Israel — landed outside Sa’ir, northeast of Hebron. The Palestinian Red Crescent said three children, aged six, seven, and twelve, were cut by flying glass; all were treated at .

Police sealed off both areas while bomb disposal teams gathered evidence. Preliminary analysis pointed to wreckage from a Shahab-3 warhead destroyed by Israel’s Arrow-3 system during Operation Rising Lion. (JPost/VFI News)
