Jerusalem, 4 April, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Iranian missile fire struck multiple locations in central Israel on Saturday after a fresh barrage triggered sirens.
Damage was reported in Petah Tikva, Bnei Brak, Rosh HaAyin, Tel Aviv, Givatayim and Ramat Gan, according to Israeli media and emergency responders.
At least one person, a 45-year-old man in Bnei Brak, was reported lightly wounded by shattered glass or shrapnel.
Reports indicate that emergency crews were dispatched to as many as 17 impact or fragment-fall scenes after what several outlets described as a cluster-type missile aimed at the center of the country.
In Petah Tikva, a submunition reportedly exploded in the parking area of a residential building, prompting rescue teams to people from the site, while two nearby buildings were also damaged.
In Rosh HaAyin, an impact between houses caused significant damage and a power outage, and shrapnel was also reported near buildings and a kindergarten.
The barrage also affected areas further south. Israeli police said shrapnel landed at an industrial site in the Negev, while local media reported a fire at the Neot Hovav industrial zone, but there was no hazardous materials leak.
The latest strikes highlight the ongoing threat to civilian areas even when casualty numbers stay relatively low. Israeli rescue teams, police, and military personnel worked across a broad area of central and southern sites to assess damage, secure buildings, and search for any additional casualties.
