Several impacts were recorded in Bnei Brak between Friday evening and Saturday night, including a direct hit on a residential building on Kehillot Yaakov Street on Friday night and another impact Saturday afternoon in the city center.

In one of the incidents, an apartment was damaged and the building sustained heavy damage.

A 24-year-old man was evacuated to Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center after suffering smoke inhalation; his condition was described as light. Magen David Adom (MDA) teams also treated several individuals suffering from shock at the scenes.

Security camera footage from Kehillot Yaakov Street captured the moment of impact on Friday night, showing a powerful explosion that caused extensive damage. Among the affected properties was the home of Knesset member Moshe Gafni (United Torah Judaism), where windows were shattered and the frames torn from their places.

In a separate strike on Saturday afternoon, an apartment in the city center was destroyed after its walls collapsed and the building suffered severe structural damage. MDA forces continued searches at the scene to ensure there were no additional casualties.

Municipal authorities and Home Front Command teams arrived at the sites to assess the situation and survey the damage. Residents were instructed to continue following guidelines and enter protected spaces when sirens sound.
