The military says the Israeli Air Force and Home Front Command have already implemented lessons learned from this morning’s failure to intercept a Houthi ballistic missile.

“The incident is still being thoroughly investigated,” the IDF says.

It says that following initial investigations by the IAF and Home Front Command, “some of the conclusions have already been implemented, both regarding interception and early warning.”

“No further details regarding aerial defense activities and the alert system can be given due to operational security considerations,” the IDF adds.
