A staff doctor at Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba was wounded after he had just returned from a shift at the hospital when an Iranian missile launched at Israel was intercepted near Nevatim and munitions fragments fell near his house in the Bedouin village of Alsira.
Soroka reports that the doctor, Asra Abu Rafa, in his 30s, is in moderate condition, and his wife and infant daughter are in good condition.
Seventeen other people are also being treated for severe anxiety at the hospital after the attack.
