Some appeared to be intercepted by the Iron Dome system, while others struck the ground.

Other footage shared on social media showed missiles exploding in the vicinity of the Mossad headquarters in the northern outskirts of Tel Aviv.

Tel Nof, *******’s largest and oldest air base, was also seemingly targeted in the barrage, according to geolocated footage.

Footage geolocated by open source intelligence analysts showed a huge crater from a missile impact on a road near Ramat, north of Tel Aviv.
