At least seven people were injured in the central Israeli city of Tira after three projectiles crossed over from Lebanon overnight into Saturday, local officials confirmed. The incident caused panic and destruction in the area.
Israel's military responded to the situation, stating that 'a fallen projectile was most likely identified in the area.' The exact nature and origin of the projectiles are still under investigation.
A dashcam video, geolocated to Tira, captured the moment of impact, showing a powerful explosion near a row of shops in the city. Tira, an Arab-majority city located approximately 24 kilometers (15 miles) northeast of Tel Aviv, bore the brunt of the attack.
The injured individuals were promptly attended to by emergency services and transported to nearby medical facilities for treatment. The severity of their injuries has not been disclosed at this time.
Authorities are working diligently to assess the extent of the damage caused by the projectiles and to ensure the safety and security of residents in the affected area. The incident has raised concerns about the ongoing tensions in the region and the need for heightened vigilance to prevent further escalations.
