Iran’s latest missile attack caused damage in central Israel, apparently by a cluster munition from a ballistic missile.
Footage shows that the impact caused a crater and flipped over a car in Rishon Lezion.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service says it has not received any reports of injuries.
At least six other impact sites are reported elsewhere in central Israel, caused by possible cluster munitions or other falling fragments, rescue services say.
