Debris following the interception of a Houthi ballistic missile launched from Yemen at central Israel this morning caused extensive damage to a school in Ramat Gan.

According to the military, the ballistic missile was intercepted by the long-range Arrow air defense system, and sirens sounded in central Israel due to fears of falling shrapnel.

A building at a school in Ramat Gan collapsed apparently as a result of a large piece of debris that struck the area.

The military is investigating the incident. In the past, partially intercepted missiles launched at Israel have crashed with their warhead intact and caused extensive damage.
