After an initial probe, the IDF says the impact in Ramat Gan this evening that caused extensive damage and wounded five people, was confirmed to have been from fragments of an intercepted missile.
“A preliminary investigation of the air defense systems found that the interceptor hit a surface-to-surface missile launched from Lebanon at a high altitude, and broke it into several pieces,” the IDF says in a statement.
“As a result of the interception, part of the missile hit the ground and caused damage and casualties,” the military says, adding that the incident is under further investigation.
