Air raid sirens sounded across dozens of cities and towns in central Israel, the Sharon region, and Samaria on Wednesday, following Home Front Command warnings of incoming fire toward Israeli territory.

Among the areas where alerts were activated: Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Bnei Brak, Petah Tikva, Givataim, Netanya, Kfar Saba, Ra'anana, Hod HaSharon, Ramat HaSharon, Herzliya, Holon, Bat Yam, and numerous communities along the Rosh HaAyin, Modi'in, and Shephelah corridors.

Initial reports indicated that a missile warhead split mid-air over the central region, scattering debris across multiple impact sites. Magen David Adom paramedics treated and transported three people in light condition to Beilinson Hospital — a 44-year-old man and two children aged 12 and 13 — all suffering from blast pressure injuries.

Alerts were also triggered in dozens of Sharon and Emek Hefer communities, including Kadima-Zoran, Tel Mond, Pardesiya, and Kfar Yona, as well as in Samaria communities including Ariel, Kedumim, Karnei Shomron, Emanuel, and Shiloh.

Security and rescue forces were operating at multiple sites. The Home Front Command urged the public to follow instructions and enter protected spaces upon receiving an alert.
