An Iranian projectile struck central Tel Aviv, leaving a deep crater near key diplomatic sites, including the US and Indian embassies, India Today TV's Pranay Upadhyaya on the ground said. The blast damaged road surfaces and nearby buildings, prompting police and forensic teams to cordon off the area and collect debris. It marked the second impact in the vicinity in 24 hours, raising concerns about air defence gaps despite Israel Defense Forces systems operating round the clock. Sirens and alerts continued across Israel. Even as emergency teams responded, residents resumed daily routines, a mark of their resilience amid escalating cross-border missile and drone attacks.

00:00Let me show you the impact side first.
00:01I am in the city of Tel Aviv and not very far from my hotel,
00:04not very far from the Indian embassy in Tel Aviv
00:07and not very far from the branch of the U.S. embassy here in Tel Aviv.
00:10A missile fragment landed here.
00:12And you can very well see the impact of this missile,
00:15that how much damage it has caused.
00:17In fact, a big crater is created.
00:20In fact, they have bound this entire area.
00:22We were first to reach here, but they have bound this area
00:26for, you know, for anyone to access this region.
00:29And in fact, the police and forensic teams are at the scene.
00:33They are trying to collect all the evidences.
00:35In fact, they have got rid of this entire area.
00:37But a big crater is there in the road.
00:40And this has created, you can very well see this missile fragment,
00:46missile piece which landed here caused this much of impact.
00:50Road surface got peeled off.
00:52In fact, a crater some feet deep is created at this very site.
00:58You can see, and now, police and forensic teams are at scene
01:01to collect the evidences.
01:03In fact, they are also trying to collect the evidences that, you know,
01:06how much damage it has caused.
01:08Because probably, you know, some outer facade of this building got damaged.
01:13In fact, this is close to Sheraton Hotel.
01:14And let me tell you, Sneha, that this is successively second impact in the same vicinity.
01:21Yesterday, also, a missile piece landed in this similar area.
01:25And probably, U.S., you know, embassy could be on target.
01:29Because not very far from the place where I am standing right now,
01:33down the road, is U.S. embassy.
01:36And on the other side, there is Indian embassy as well.
01:38So, you can very well imagine that how sensitive this area is.
01:42Missile batteries, the air defense batteries of Israel are working around the clock
01:47to neutralize all these incoming projectiles.
01:51And we heard a lot of boom sounds around.
01:54So, probably, this could have been a larger missile
01:57or could be a cluster ammunition which managed to sneak into,
02:01managed to get in the, you know,
02:04managed to get inside the missile defense system.
02:07And, in fact, could penetrate it.
02:09And, therefore, you know, this has become a bigger challenge,
02:12a larger challenge for, let me show you from the other angle as well,
02:16that how these missiles landing in different parts of Tel Aviv
02:21are causing damage here.
02:23You can see a missile piece landed at this very side,
02:27this very place.
02:28And you can see that, look,
02:31the security guy is trying to collect pieces, fragments from this place.
02:35Yeah.
02:37We have been asked to go to the other side.
02:40In fact, police and forensics teams are inspecting this very side here.
02:45And, in fact, the Homefront Command of Israel has asked people
02:48not to go close to any impact site
02:51because there could be some explosives left in those missile fragments,
02:55in those missile pieces.
02:57They are trying to collect all those, you know, pieces from this place
03:01and see this area.
03:04This is on the beach side.
03:06This is largely the hotel area.
03:08But U.S. embassy is also close by,
03:10Indian embassy is also close by on the same road.
03:14And you can very well imagine that, you know,
03:16how the Iranian missiles are able to penetrate the Israeli missile defense system.
03:24And, in fact, they are causing damage.
03:26Even after interception, they cause damage
03:29because they are using cluster ammunition.
03:32And this is like cluster ammunition.
03:33Even after interception, scatter, you know, in a wider area.
03:36And this is how they cause damage.
03:39And this is how this sahip can spread.
03:39And this is cool.
03:39If you have any issues with the
