JERUSALEM, March 2, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Missile fire from Iran injured three people in Jerusalem late on Sunday, Israeli medics said, with police reporting "direct impact" on a city highway.

"A direct impact of a munition was identified on one of the main roads in Jerusalem," police said in a statement, sharing footage showing officers at a highway section littered with rubble.

Israel's emergency medical service Magen David Adom said three people were injured, including a 46-year-old man with moderate shrapnel wounds.

The medical organisation earlier said several others were treated for light injuries at the site.

AFP journalists heard a series of loud blasts above the city, after the Israeli military said it had detected missiles launched from Iran.

Israel's Kan public television and Channel 12 broadcast footage showing police officers and rescuers deployed in areas where visible damage could be seen, one "in the centre of the country" and the other in the Jerusalem area.

In the Jerusalem area, the footage showed a road strewn with debris and rocks.

In the centre of the country, damaged cars could be seen.

Military censorship prohibits the media from disclosing the exact locations of the impact sites.
