Buildings have been severely damaged in Tel Aviv after being struck by an Iranian missile, emergency responders have said.
“This is a large-scale destruction site. Several two-story residential buildings were severely damaged, and some collapsed,” said emergency services agency Magen David Adom (MDA).
Video released by emergency services showed parts of a building reduced to rubble and significant damage to other buildings in the surrounding area.
A large number of emergency responders were on the scene.
Israel Police said officers and bomb disposal units were at the scene of munition fall in central Israel.
A city official in the northern city of Haifa also confirmed an impact in the city.
Israeli emergency responders previously said they were heading to at least 10 scenes following the latest wave of Iranian missile strikes.
“Search and Rescue forces are operating in several locations across the country in which reports of fallen projectiles were received,” the Israel Defense Forces said.
Eleven people were wounded in the strikes, according to MDA.
