Overview
- Bnei Brak saw several impacts, with blasts late Friday night on Kehillot Yaakov Street and another strike Saturday afternoon in the city center.
- An apartment in the city center collapsed inward during the Saturday strike, leaving the unit destroyed and the building with severe structural damage.
- Medical crews treated residents for shock, and a 24-year-old man was taken to Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center for smoke inhalation in light condition.
- Windows and shutters at MK Moshe Gafni’s home were blown out, yet he and his wife were unhurt after sheltering during the siren, and the prime minister later called to check on them.
- Home Front Command and city teams surveyed the damage and reminded people in this densely populated Haredi city to enter protected rooms when sirens sound, as security video from Kehillot Yaakov Street showed the force of the blast.
