Israel’ Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency service said fragments struck the yard of a building in the city of Lod, where a vehicle caught fire. No injuries were reported. According to MDA, no calls about casualties were received from the central region. In the south, security and emergency teams were conducting searches in Bedouin communities across the Negev following the launches. It was not immediately clear how many missiles were fired, though initial indications suggested that most were intercepted.
