A huge explosion shakes the center of Paris
The fire and rescue services said a crater several meters in diameter had formed at the site of the explosion.
The Israeli police units are surveying the area to obtain more information, while the Israeli army stated that military activity in the area has been ruled out as a cause of the explosion, as the site of the explosion was in the past a factory for Israeli military industries.
