Iranian missile causes major damage to Beersheba daycare; no injuries

One of the missiles fired earlier this afternoon from Iran caused significant damage to the Colel Chabad Daycare Center in Beersheba, the organization says.

“Miraculously, no children or staff were physically harmed, as the strike occurred Friday afternoon outside the center’s regular operating time. However, the destruction of classrooms and play areas has deeply impacted dozens of local families who rely on the center for stability, safety and childcare,” Colel Chabad says.

Iran likely targeted Beersheba with a cluster bomb in its latest attack on Israel, footage indicated.

Videos and photos from the southern city show several impacts of small munitions at multiple locations in the city, indicating that a ballistic missile carrying a cluster bomb warhead was used in the attack a short time ago.
