The missile carried a cluster bomb warhead, spreading smaller bombs (bomblets) over a wide area.
One bomblet impact killed a man in his 60s who was not in a bomb shelter, and another submunition hit a residential building and lightly wounded two men in their 50s, according to the police and Magen David Adom (Israel's national emergency medical, disaster, ambulance and blood bank service).
The Fire and Rescue Service said it handled a total of six sites where submunitions from the missile impacted.
Medics also reported that two people were lightly injured in the Kuseife area of southern Israel earlier Friday evening from falling fragments following the interception of an Iranian ballistic missile.
MDA said it treated a man aged 37 and a woman in her 20s who were injured by shrapnel. Both were taken to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, as reported by The Times of Israel.
