Shocking footage captured the moment a Palestinian man was killed instantly by a piece of errant shrapnel from one of the missiles Iran launched into Israel on Tuesday.
Gruesome video released by Israel shows the man milling around on a street in the West Bank village of Nu’eima, not far from Jericho, when a large part of an Iranian missile fell from the sky.
The massive piece of shrapnel landed right on top of him, the video shows.
The man, identified by Palestinian media as a laborer named Sameh al-Asl, was the only person reported to have been killed in the Iranian attack.
The Islamic republic fired nearly 200 ballistic missiles targeting densely populated areas of the Jewish state in direct retribution for last week’s killing of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and other top officials from the terror group, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said.
The man, identified by Palestinian media as a laborer named Sameh al-Asl, was reportedly killed in the West Bank village of Nu’eima, not far from Jericho.
Tuesday’s attack sent millions of Israelis fleeing to bomb shelters and lit up the skies over Tel Aviv. So far, only two Israelis have been reported injured in the missile strikes, according to preliminary reports.
