Months later, censor allows footage of Iranian missile hitting near government building

Nearly three months later, Israel’s Military Censor has permitted the publication of footage showing an Iranian ballistic missile impact near a building housing government offices in the northern city of Haifa.

In the attack on June 20 during the war between the two countries, one of Iran’s missiles hit next to Sail Tower, a 29-story skyscraper in downtown Haifa, blowing out many of the windows.

Videos of the strike were widely circulated on social media, and the censor previously permitted images from the scene of the impact, as well as the fact that a mosque adjacent to the tower was damaged.

The building has been abandoned since the attack, with the government offices moving to other locations.

The Iranian attack involved some 25 missiles, the IDF said at the time. The impact in Haifa wounded at least 23 people, three of them seriously.
