Six individuals sustained minor injuries Saturday when Iran conducted a series of ballistic missile attacks against central and southern Israel, with debris from the strikes landing close to Israel’s primary military command center in Tel Aviv.
Throughout Saturday, Iran fired repeated waves of ballistic missiles, many equipped with cluster warheads that scattered smaller explosive devices across civilian areas. More than a dozen locations throughout central Israel reported direct hits from the assault.
Debris from the missile attack fell into a parking area adjacent to the Kirya military complex in Tel Aviv. The surrounding communities of Ramat Gan and Bnei Brak experienced damage to residential buildings and automobiles. Emergency response teams conducted search operations in Ramat Gan after a building suffered severe structural damage, looking for anyone potentially trapped beneath the debris. Medical personnel treated a man in his fifties for minor wounds, while a 45-year-old resident of Bnei Brak required care after being cut by flying glass.
The city of Rosh Ha’ayin also experienced infrastructure damage when a missile struck an electrical transmission line, leaving portions of the community without power.
South of Beersheba, a ballistic missile equipped with a large conventional explosive device hit the Ne’ot Hovav industrial complex, igniting a blaze at the facility.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, Home Front Command rescue units were sent to numerous impact locations, and officials warned civilians to avoid the affected zones due to potential dangers from unexploded munitions and falling wreckage.
