Missile shrapnel falls in Jerusalem's Old City holy sites, police say

Missile fragments from an intercepted Iranian missile scattered across Jerusalem's Old City, damaging roofs and a car near multiple key religious sites, with no injuries reported, officials said.

  • Video captured debris hitting a parking lot in Jerusalem's Old City after an Iranian missile was intercepted, with fragments falling about 400 meters from the Western Wall.
  • Amid heightened tensions in Jerusalem, sirens sounded across the city and parts of Samaria as Iranian forces launched multiple barrages while the Al-Aqsa compound remained closed for Eid al-Fitr under Home Front Command restrictions.
  • Officials said at least one missile used a fragmentation-type warhead, and impact sites were searched by Jerusalem police, bomb disposal units, and emergency crews.
  • Magen David Adom said no injuries were reported in Jerusalem, and authorities confirmed no damage to the Western Wall or Al-Aqsa Mosque, while global energy markets reacted to fears over the Strait of Hormuz.
  • The IDF says it has struck more than 2,000 targets since fighting began, highlighting Iran's expanding regional reach into Jerusalem's most sensitive areas.
