Teams were dispatched to scan several locations where reports of impacts were received, including Tel Aviv, Givat Shmuel, and Bnei Brak. Miraculously, there were no casualties.
Sirens were activated Thursday in hundreds of communities across the country following launches from Lebanon, Iran, and Yemen. In Petah Tikva, heavy damage was caused to buildings and property after an explosion created a large crater at the impact site.
