Jerusalem, 4 April, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Emergency teams are operating at more than 10 scenes across central Israel on Saturday afternoon after a fresh Iranian barrage damaged buildings and sparked fires in several cities, with the main rescue effort focused on Ramat Gan, where authorities feared people might be trapped.

Magen David Adom teams have been dispatched to incidents in Bnei Brak, Petah Tikva, Givatayim, Ramat Gan, and Rosh HaAyin, while Israeli media reported widespread damage in the greater Tel Aviv area following the latest strike.

As of the latest emergency update, no injuries had been reported, but searches were still underway at all affected locations.

In Bnei Brak, responders identified two separate scenes — one involving debris and another involving a residential building — with No Casualties reported at either site. In Petah Tikva, one scene involved road damage and minor surrounding destruction, while at another location, shrapnel hit the entrance of a building, again without reported casualties.

In Rosh HaAyin, one impact was reported in a parking lot, causing light to moderate structural damage, while another scene was located in an open area. No injuries were reported there either.

The main concern was in Ramat Gan. Emergency responders said a vehicle caught fire and nearby apartments were destroyed, raising fears that people might be trapped inside. Search teams were operating at the scene, while two additional damaged sites were also reported in the city.

The latest barrage again showed how even limited missile fire can create a broad urban emergency footprint. Although no casualties had been confirmed at the time of the update, rescue forces were still scanning buildings, checking for trapped residents, and securing damaged areas, meaning the picture on the ground was still developing.
