Blasts heard, smoke seen near Tel Aviv after warning of Iranian missiles 

Smoke could be seen rising from two locations around Israel’s commercial hub Tel Aviv on Friday, AFP journalists said, after blasts were heard following a warning that missiles were fired from Iran. Israel’s Magen David Adom first responders said they had “searched locations where reports were received; no casualties were located”. An AFP journalist at the scene saw thick black smoke billowing into the sky from what appeared to be a burning warehouse at one of the locations near a motorway. Emergency crews were at the scene.
