A massive explosion occurred in Tel Aviv on Thursday night as the war with Hamas continues.
Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst was at the scene and shared a video on X of him standing on broken glass that had been thrown up from a storefront across the street.
Yingst reported that emergency crews were combing some residential areas to see if anyone had been injured in the explosion.

“We’re working through the details very carefully,” Yingst said, adding that it was late at night in the area and he hadn’t yet been able to speak to sources. “We’re trying to figure out exactly what happened.”
“Initial investigations indicate that the explosion in Tel Aviv was the result of a fallen aerial target, which did not sound a siren. The incident is being thoroughly investigated,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

He added in a later post that the blast had damaged a photography shop across from the US Embassy, calling the scene a “very fluid situation.”
A police spokesman said: “A police hotline was called shortly after reporting an explosion heard in a building in Tel Aviv. A large contingent of Tel Aviv District Police and police bomb disposal experts have arrived at the scene and are dealing with the situation.”
