Missile strike causes fire in central Tel Aviv, police say

A fire broke out in central Tel Aviv after a missile strike, according to the district police commander. 

Israeli media outlet Kann News reported that the police commander said, “It is not fragments of an interceptor, but a heavy missile hit.” This follows reports of a long-range missile fired from Lebanon that Israel's air force allegedly intercepted.

The Israeli military confirmed that shrapnel from the intercepted missile fell in the Ramat Gan area of Tel Aviv, sparking a significant fire in a building.
