A dashcam video shows yesterday’s Hezbollah missile impact at a satellite station near Beit Shemesh.

The impact caused damage to the infrastructure at the site and injured two people, according to rescue services.

The IDF says an “isolated failure” resulted in the missile impacting without being intercepted and without warning sirens sounding in the area.

Hezbollah claimed the satellite station belongs to the “Communications and Cyber Defense Division of the Israeli enemy army,” although the site is in fact not a military installation, but rather a civilian-commercial site operated by the European company SES.
