Rocket shrapnel falls on major Jerusalem street
According to Israel Police, pieces of rocket fall on Jerusalem’s Hebron Road, a major thoroughfare in southern Jerusalem, near the Mar Elias Greek Orthodox monastery overlooking Bethlehem. A boom was heard over the capital minutes before, likely from the interception of the rocket.
No sirens were heard in the area.
In the same barrage, a rocket strikes inside a community in Gush Etzion, and while another rocket falls near Bethlehem.
