Shrapnel from an Iranian missile strike wounded three members of a Bedouin family in the Negev region of Israel on 24 March 2026. The injured included a man in his 40s, a 26-year-old woman, and a two-month-old infant, all treated in mild condition. The infant was undergoing evaluation at Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, while the adult male was reported in serious condition.
The incident occurred during a broader missile barrage from Iran targeting southern Israel, which prompted emergency evacuations and medical responses across multiple regions. In addition to the Negev casualties, twelve people were treated for shrapnel injuries in Bnei Brak following an Iranian missile barrage, with one man in moderate condition and a 94-year-old woman rescued from a damaged building. A separate Hezbollah rocket attack in northern Israel resulted in the death of a 27-year-old woman, Nuriel Dubin, from shrapnel injuries.
The Negev attack prompted emergency services to respond to multiple impact sites, including one in Rosh Ha’ayin where vehicles were damaged. No further details were provided on the family’s location within the Negev or the nature of the missile’s fragmentation.
