Magen David Adom revises the wounded toll of the impact at an unrecognized Bedouin community in the Negev Desert to three.

MDA says a man in his 40s was moderately hurt after being hit by a blast, and a woman aged 26 and a 2-month-old baby were lightly hurt in the village of Alsira.

All three were taken to Soroka Hospital in Beersheba, the ambulance service adds.

According to the IDF, an Iranian missile fired at the area was intercepted, and falling fragments likely caused the injuries.
