Red Crescent says ambulance delays hinder response to Hebron strike The Palestinian Red Crescent said it dispatched five ambulances to a strike site near Hebron, where crews treated casualties and transferred them to nearby hospitals and clinics. Paramedics said they faced major delays reaching the area due to Israeli military gates around Palestinian towns in the occupied West Bank, many of which have remained largely closed during the US-Israeli war on Iran and its wider spillover in the region. “This forced closure caused significant delays, compelling ambulances to take long, rugged alternative routes, which critically impacted the ‘golden hour’ essential for life-saving interventions,” the organisation said in a statement.

The missile struck a hair salon in the town of Beit Awwa, southwest of Hebron, the Palestinian Authority's official news agency WAFA reported. Six women were wounded, one of them seriously.
