Rocket event in Israel on Tue 5th December 2023

TWO men narrowly avoided injury when part of a rocket crashed onto a sidewalk outside a toy store in Tel Aviv, Israel, on Tuesday, December 5.

Israeli media said the rocket had been fired from Gaza but was intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome system.

A security camera captured the moment the rocket fragment landed outside the Toysim toy store, located on King George Street. The store’s owner, Tzuf Solomon, said the two men were uninjured.

Speaking to Storyful, Solomon told he closed the store temporarily but reopened later in the afternoon. “We have to keep going. We can’t let the terrorists win,” he said.

The Israel Police said it responded to several rocket fallout sites in Tel Aviv. At least one person was slightly injured, according to Israel’s national ambulance service, Magen David Adom.
