Police say they are investigating the blast in the southernmost city of Eilat as a “suspected security incident.”
It asks the public to stay away from the area of a school where the large explosion occurred.
In surveillance camera footage from near the school, buzzing, possibly from a drone, can be heard before the blast.
The cause of the explosion is still under investigation.
