Authorities reported several impact sites across central Israel during the overnight attack, indicating multiple waves of incoming fire over a period of hours. The strikes caused widespread damage in densely populated areas, though the full extent of the destruction was not immediately detailed.
In Tel Aviv, shrapnel from one of the strikes damaged platforms and infrastructure at the Savidor central railway station. Train services at the station were temporarily suspended as a result of the damage.
