A second explosion was reported on Yosef Ziman Street in Tel Aviv on Friday, MDA Chief Eli Bin confirmed. Israeli media indicated that the blast was neither a security nor a criminal incident.
An oxygen cylinder exploded inside an apartment on Yosef Zinman Street in east Tel Aviv, near the border with Ramat Gan and Givatayim. The explosion occurred while workers were repairing an air conditioning unit, injuring two people.
Earlier, a drone attack took place on Ben Yehuda Street at the corner of Shalom Aleichem near the US Consulate after loud explosions were heard in Tel Aviv early Friday morning. Yemen’s Houthis claimed responsibility for this attack.
These incidents follow a series of explosions in Tel Aviv, with one casualty reported in the latest blast.
