Four people are injured after an intercepted missile fragment hit a mobile home in an unrecognized Bedouin community in the Negev Desert, medics say.

According to Magen David Adom, a man in his 40s is listed in moderate condition, and three others — including two infants and a woman in her 40s — are lightly hurt.

As many Bedouin communities in the Negev are not recognized by the state, there are few public bomb shelters and residents largely lack private protective rooms.
