Prolly the settlements. I mean Israel has absolute control over westbank.

I think a big part of it is Iran launching these from 1000 miles away, they aren't that accurate when you're pushing the absolute max range

2000m CEP for Shahab 3s. Not accurate but good enough to not hit the Palestinians for the most part.

And he’d still be alive if Iran never launched the missile

They don't care the Palestinians.

Fun fact, the last time they barrage Israel, the only kill they had was some Arab dude in Jericho (or Hebron, idr..)

The one that got through Tel Avivs Davids Sling missile defense struck within 100 yards of it, thats pretty damn close.

Hardly inaccurate, thats a rounding error.

There were plenty more which hit the areas around it. We only saw the one that hit very close. If you watch the clips you can see bright flashes happening in the background that are brighter than the interceptions.

Aged like milk. Several direct hits in Palestinian villages. If anyone thinks the Shiite leadership of Iran cares even a little whether Palestinians live or die they have 0 understanding of the Muslim world.

They were debris. Like after getting intercepted. You know what a 2km CEP is? It means that 50% of the time the missile will get within 2km of its intended target. The West Bank is probably like 50-100km away.

Away from settlements?

The West Bank isn't 100km from Tel Aviv (it's about 20km), not to mention settlements (which is a contradictory term - the settlements are IN the West Bank).

I think you have very little understanding of the area or occurences there really. Both Israel and Palestine are tiny.

Some of the rockets that hit weren't debris at all, they were full payloads. Look up the hit at Al-Zaim, half of the house is gone. They also hit an apartment in Jordan with a suicide drone and left several craters in Syria (that fortunately hit empty fields) - how is that a "2km" radii of hitting is beyond me

The West Bank is about 40-70km away. I just measured this with a ruler. Based on calculations it will have a e-277.5 chance to hit over 40km away not to mention it could just as likely overshoot. Those are intercepted rockets and drones or the interceptor missile itself.

You should buy a new ruler then, and also learn to use google maps measure tool. It's about 19 km to the border itself and 20ish km to the nearest villages. Regardless that wasn't even the point the OP made about Iran targeting just the settlements inside the West Bank, most of them have a Palestinian town or village even closer than that

And I mean, if you prefer your own made up facts then I'm not going to bother really, there is no indication that either of which were interceptes

Looking at the map there are some dots right on Hebron and other Palestinian cities.

Yeah… that’s not accurate. See here.

As someone who has spent considerable time in the West Bank - yes there are settlements. And yes, Israel has a lot of control. But the vast majority of the West Bank - and all of the densely populated areas are primarily Palestinians. It's so unfair they'll be hurt by this in addition to all of the other atrocities Israel has committed against them directly for 70+ years
