Multiple reports say a fragment from an intercepted Iranian missile likely caused the explosion less than 500 yards from the Temple Mount. After watching the video, some observers said it looked more like a bomblet from cluster munition. Either way, it hit inside the Old City of Jerusalem. It was explosive and violent. Unlike a nearby strike that killed nine Israeli civilians and destroyed a synagogue, this one did minimal harm even though several reports indicate that fragments reached areas in and around the Temple Mount. All of this raises a volatile question. What would happen if an Iranian missile struck the Al-Aqsa Mosque or the Dome of the Rock?
