An elementary school in the Ramat Efal neighborhood of Ramat Gan, just east of Tel Aviv, was severely damaged by a Houthi missile attack overnight Wednesday.

According to the city’s mayor, the impact caused a partial collapse of the school’s central building, prompting the cancellation of classes for the day. No injuries were reported.

“Overnight, a missile was fired from Yemen toward Israeli territory. Sirens were activated across central Israel. Following the interception of the missile, damage to a school in Ramat Efal was identified. No injuries were reported. The circumstances surrounding the impact are under review,” the Israel Defense Forces said on Thursday morning.

According to preliminary assessments, interceptor shrapnel hit the building. Israeli Education Minister Yoav Kisch, who visited the scene of the incident on Thursday morning, claimed that a missile warhead had hit the school, according to Channel 12 News.

The mayor of Modi’in, a city located roughly halfway between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, said on Thursday that shrapnel from the missile interception impacted in two places, causing minor damage.

No injuries were reported.

Air-raid sirens were not triggered in Modi’in, leading the mayor, Haim Bibas, to ask the IDF Home Front Command why.

The Houthis said they fired two ballistic missiles at central Israel.

Following the interception, the Israeli Air Force attacked Houthi targets in Yemen.
