An Iranian missile struck near an office building in Be'er Sheva, causing widespread damage and injuries. Preliminary reports indicate that the blast occurred close to the premises of an IT company specializing in cybersecurity services for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Microsoft. Emergency services are on-site, conducting evacuations and assessing the damage.

Approximately 35 people were injured in the strike, with several sustaining serious injuries due to the blast wave and structural collapse. Many received medical treatment on-site, while others were hospitalized. Local authorities have increased security measures in the area and restricted access to the affected building.

The strike is part of the ongoing escalation between Iran and Israel. In response to IDF actions and Israeli airstrikes, Tehran has intensified its missile launches, targeting various sites across Israel. This latest incident is among the most targeted attacks on strategically or infrastructurally significant locations in recent days.

The affected company’s office is located in a business district of Be'er Sheva that houses data centers and units crucial to Israel's digital infrastructure. Local officials confirmed the company's key role in supporting the cybersecurity of Israel’s military and governmental networks.

Technical staff have been evacuated, and access to servers and critical systems has been temporarily suspended. Company and municipal representatives noted that the impact on network functionality will be assessed separately. Civil defense teams are continuing debris removal and structural assessments in nearby buildings.

Tensions remain high. Israeli military officials stated that they reserve the right to respond and are monitoring for additional threats. The international community has voiced concern over the conflict’s expansion into dual-use and civilian areas. Diplomatic responses are being considered as both sides escalate hostilities.
