Initial IDF probe finds missile warhead hit Ramat Gan school after partial interception

The IDF says that an initial probe into the damage caused to a school in Ramat Gan after it was seriously damaged in a Houthi attack finds that it was likely hit by the missile warhead after a partial interception.

The explosion caused a building to collapse at the school and widespread destruction. There were no injuries as the buildings were empty in the early hours of the morning.

“After an initial investigation by the Air Force, and an examination of the findings at the scene of the impact at the school in Ramat Gan, it appears that this was most likely a partial interception of the missile launched this morning from Yemen, and it was found that the warhead of the missile was the part that exploded and caused the damage,” the IDF says.

“In addition, the security forces are investigating interception fragment impacts in additional areas,” the statement says.

Fragments were found in Jerusalem and Modiin, where no warning sirens sounded.

“The Air Force and the Home Front Command are conducting a joint investigation into the matter, and will present their findings at the conclusion,” the IDF says.
