On Monday, March 16, fragments from intercepted Iranian missiles fell near Jerusalem’s walled Old City and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a major site of Jesus’ crucifixion and burial.
The Church of the Holy Sepulcher serves as the Greek Orthodox Church headquarters in Jerusalem.
Israeli police reported that shrapnel also landed on several sacred Christian, Muslim, and Jewish sites.
In a statement, the police said, “Jerusalem District police, bomb disposal teams, and Border Police units have secured the sites and are currently working to eliminate any remaining risk to the public.”
There were no casualties or major damage, but police removed part of a missile from a roof adjacent to the Holy Sepulchre.
