A massive explosion and giant fireball lit up the night sky over Beit Shemesh near Jerusalem, sending shockwaves across Israel and triggering panic among residents already on edge after recent Iran missile attacks. Dramatic visuals showed thick flames and a powerful blast erupting late Saturday night. Israel’s state-owned Tomer defense firm later confirmed the explosion was part of a pre-planned missile and rocket propulsion test, though many residents said they received no prior warning. The incident comes amid rising fears that Israel and the United States could renew military action against Iran if negotiations fail.
