ALBAWABA - Israeli and foreign news sources say that an Iranian rocket hit the city of Be'er Sheva in the south of the country early Friday morning. The attack caused a big fire near a building that houses Microsoft offices, damaged a lot of property, and hurt several people.
A lot of parked cars were destroyed by the rocket hit, and nearby buildings were seriously damaged. Videos going around on social media show cars on fire, pieces of debris, and a clear hole near the crash site. People have said that the attack was probably done by a solid-fuel rocket that got past Israel's air defenses.
After the attack, air raid alarms went off all over southern Israel. The Iranian missile launch was confirmed by the Israeli military, which said that its air defense systems tried to stop the danger.
A spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said, "Iran's missile launches toward Israel were picked up just now." Our air defense systems are already working. People must go into safe places right away and stay there until they are told otherwise.
The Israeli Home Front Command looked at the situation and then let people leave secured areas, but they still told them to follow official instructions. Rescue and search teams were sent to the impact site to look at the damage and help anyone who might have been hurt.
The attack also brought up questions about Iran's plan for hitting its targets. Iranian government officials have said many times that their attacks are meant to hit military, intelligence, and science sites that are connected to Israel's defense establishment. There is a Microsoft building close to the strike zone, which has made people wonder if the place was purposely chosen as a target.
There were also reports of more hits in other places, like Nevatim and Rahat. Even though most of the rockets were blocked, this event shows how the conflict between Iran and Israel is getting worse and how dangerous it is for residential and business areas.
