Rescue officials say contrary to reports, no missiles impacted in Jerusalem

Rescue officials say that contrary to multiple reports, there was no direct missile impact in Jerusalem overnight during Iranian barrages that targeted central and northern Israel.

Several of the missiles were intercepted in the skies over Jerusalem, however, with accompanying loud explosions.

The fire service reported an impact in the greater Jerusalem district, but later clarified that there was no impact in Jerusalem itself.

There were also reports of shrapnel from an interceptor falling near a yeshiva in the city. There were no reports of injuries.

Also, a false report of a direct strike in East Jerusalem was called in to emergency services. On one occasion, first responders were attacked in East Jerusalem, according to Hebrew media reports.

Some media and multiple social media posts had reported missile impacts in Jerusalem.
