Iranian missile attacks have continued on Israel. While the Israeli military says it intercepted the majority, some are making it through. A ballistic missile hit Petah Tikva in central Israel on Thursday evening, bypassing air defence systems. It landed between a residential neighbourhood and the city’s industrial zone, causing a large crater. The shockwave heavily damaged nearby buildings.
