A widely circulated video captures the moment an Iran-launched ballistic missile struck a highway near Jerusalem, leaving several civilians injured and sparking alarm amid spiralling Middle East tensions. Israeli emergency services reported at least six to seven people were wounded late Sunday night when debris from the impact scattered across the roadway, disrupting traffic and prompting an urgent rescue response.
The footage, shared on social media and verified by regional media outlets, shows the aftermath of the strike on a major road outside the Israeli capital, with vehicles halted and emergency crews working at the scene. Magen David Adom paramedics treated those hurt in the incident as sirens blared across Jerusalem and surrounding areas.
The strike is part of a broader wave of retaliation by Iranian forces after escalating hostilities following recent U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iranian targets. The growing cycle of attacks and reprisals has raised fears of a wider conflict, drawing international calls for restraint even as air-raid sirens continue across the region.
Israeli authorities have stressed that investigations are underway to determine the precise trajectory and origin of the missile, amid conflicting claims and ongoing exchanges of fire between Tehran and Israeli defence systems. News as reported
