A powerful explosion rocked a building in Tel Aviv, Israel, on Friday morning, leaving at least two people injured. The Israeli police confirmed the incident and reported that emergency services were immediately dispatched to the scene. The military, in a brief statement, acknowledged the explosion and indicated they are investigating whether it was caused by a drone attack.
“Earlier tonight (Friday), an explosion sounded in the area of central Tel Aviv. We are looking into the reports that it was an aerial target. The incident is under review,” the military stated.
The blast occurred just hours after the Israeli military announced the killing of a senior commander of the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon, according to Reuters. The Israeli military operation in Lebanon has been a source of heightened tensions in the region.
Authorities are working to assess the damage caused by the explosion and gather information on the circumstances surrounding the incident. The investigation is ongoing, and further updates are expected as more details become available.
