An Israeli Air Force F-16 fighter jet dropped a munition in an open area near the Ramat David Airbase in northern Israel this morning, due to a technical malfunction that had prevented the plane from safely landing, the military says.
The bomb was dropped “in a controlled manner,” according to the IDF. No injuries were caused.
The military says the incident is under further investigation.
