Two injured in second Tel Aviv explosion in 24 hours
There is reportedly one casualty at the scene.
A second explosion was heard on Yosef Ziman Street in Tel Aviv on Friday, according to MDA Chief Eli Bin. Israeli media reported that the explosion was neither a security concern nor criminal in nature.
An oxygen cylinder exploded inside of an apartment on Yosef Zinman Street in east Tel Aviv, near the border with Ramat Gan and Givatayim. Workers were repairing an air conditioning unit when the explosion occurred, injuring two people, according to Israeli media.
Israeli media also reported that one casualty occurred.
Previous Tel Aviv explosion identified as terror attack
A previous drone attack was carried out on Ben Yehuda Street on the corner of Shalom Aleichem near the US Consulate after loud explosions were heard in Tel Aviv early Friday morning. Yemen's Houthis subsequently claimed responsibility for the attack.
During searches by emergency services, the body of a lifeless man, later named as Yevgeny Perder, 50, with shrapnel marks on his body was found in an apartment near the location of the explosion. Ten people were taken to hospital with minor wounds, according to Israeli media.
This is a developing story.
