The Israeli military is checking whether an explosion in central Tel Aviv in the early hours of Friday was caused by a drone attack, the army said.
Emergency services said at least seven people were wounded in the blast and police forces were present at the scene.
“Earlier tonight, an explosion sounded in the area of central Tel Aviv. We are looking into the reports that it was an aerial target. The incident is under review,” the military said in a brief statement on Friday.
No aerial sirens were reported prior to the blast, which occurred hours after the Israeli military confirmed it had killed a senior commander of the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon.
Israeli police said the blast occurred at about 4am local time (2am BST) on Friday morning.
“Numerous police officers and bomb disposal experts have arrived on the scene and are dealing with the situation,” police said.
