Dramatic footage captured the moment a fragment from an Iranian ballistic missile crashed into Jerusalem’s Old City after the projectile was intercepted mid-air.

According to the IDF, the missile was successfully shot down, but falling debris struck a parking lot in the Jewish Quarter, approximately 400 meters—about 1,300 feet—from the Kosel and Har Habayis. No injuries were reported.

The incident came amid a wave of Iranian missile attacks, with Tehran launching at least eight salvos between midnight and Friday afternoon. At least two of the barrages are believed to have included cluster munitions, causing damage across multiple locations and leaving several civilians injured.

In the central city of Rechovot, one home was set ablaze, while missile fragments struck as many as 8 to 10 separate sites. In one case, part of a missile tore into a residential living room. A man and woman in their 70s were lightly wounded in the blasts.

Israel’s Health Ministry reported that more than 4,000 people have been hospitalized since the start of the war, though many injuries were linked to panic or attempts to reach shelters during incoming fire.

At the same time, Israel has continued to press its offensive deep inside Iran.

The IDF confirmed it has killed several high-ranking Iranian figures in recent days, including senior members of the Basij militia and intelligence apparatus. Among them was the group’s intelligence chief, as well as a top official in Iran’s Intelligence Ministry accused of orchestrating attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets worldwide.
