An Israeli Air Force attack helicopter launched a missile that landed inside Israel during an attempted strike in the Gaza Strip yesterday, the military says.
According to the IDF, the missile fell inside Israel due to a technical failure. It landed next to the border fence.
No injuries were caused.
The IDF says the incident is under further investigation.
In April, an Israeli Air Force fighter jet dropped a munition in an open area near the Gaza border community of Nir Yitzhak. The military said the incident took place during an attempted airstrike in the Strip, and was the result of a technical malfunction.
