Iranian missile explodes near Israel Defence Ministry headquarters
Two warheads from an Iranian fragmentation missile exploded Saturday morning near Israel’s Defense Ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv, according to Israeli Channel 12.
The broadcaster reported that the two warheads from missile fragments fell near the Israeli Defense Ministry during an Iranian attack, but gave no additional details.
The Israeli Defense Ministry has not reacted to the report.
Earlier on Saturday, the media reported that two fragmentation missiles fell in central Israel, causing significant damage to buildings and vehicles in several areas, including Tel Aviv, Petah Tikva, and Bnei Brak.
At the time, Israeli media reported at least two minor injuries.
Fragmentation missiles are characterized by their ability to split in the air into dozens of bombs that fall over a wide area, causing extensive damage.
The region has been on alert since the US and Israel launched an air offensive on Feb. 28, killing more than 1,340 people so far, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, along with Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure while disrupting global markets and aviation.
