Israel decries Iran's 'madness' after impact near Jerusalem holy sites
Jerusalem, March 20 (AFP) Mar 20, 2026
Israel's foreign ministry on Friday accused Iran of an "attack on the holy sites" of Jerusalem after an impact near the walls of the Old City following a missile warning.

"The Iranian attack on the holy sites sacred to all three religions reveals the madness of the Iranian regime, which claims to be religious," Israel's foreign ministry wrote on X, calling it an "Iranian gift" for the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr.

It was unclear whether the impact was from a missile or was caused by an interception.
