Sirens sounded across Israel six times on Friday, sending millions running for shelter, with emergency services reporting damage at several locations in the center of the country reports the Times of Israel.
One impact, possibly by a cluster bomb sub-munition or other fragments, sparked a blaze on the roof of a building in Shoham. According to the Kan public broadcaster, dozens of people have been forced to leave their homes as a result of the damage, the daily paper added.
CCTV footage appeared to show an impact at an empty school in Rishon Lezion, and several cars were also damaged in the town.
“I finished running and saw the missile fall. It was a great miracle that my wife and three children were in the reinforced room,” witness Tomer Nativ told the Ynet news site. “It was scary, everything caught fire on the street.”
A cluster munition also hit a highway in the center of the country, causing a crater, while an impact in Holon sparked a fire in a building, the English paper reported.
An additional missile hit an open area in central Israel — no sirens sounded as that projectile did not pose a threat to a populated area.
Cluster bomb warheads indiscriminately spread dozens of submunitions, each with several kilograms of explosives, over a radius of around 10 kilometers (6 miles).
On the first day of the war, Iran launched some 90 missiles at Israel, before firing around 60 the following day. The rate then declined to around 20 missiles per day for around a week, before slowing further to several a day in recent days. Times of Israel
