The impact in the northern town of Zarzir overnight was caused by the warhead of an Iranian ballistic missile that may have been partially intercepted, according to a preliminary military investigation.
The impact wounded some 60 people, most of them lightly, and caused damage to dozens of homes.
According to the IDF’s initial findings, the missile may have been partially intercepted by air defenses, and the warhead remained entirely intact and ultimately crashed down on Zarzir and exploded.
