Jerusalem's Old City, home to shrines sacred to Muslims, Christians, and Jews, suffered an unusual shelling during the attack. During previous rocket attacks from Iran — including the 12-day war — the city was largely unscathed, unlike neighboring cities such as Tel Aviv or Beersheba.
However, since the beginning of the latest hostilities, shrapnel has hit several objects near the Old City, including residential buildings in East Jerusalem, the main highway leading to the city, and a concert venue in West Jerusalem.
