The Israeli army said that an Iron Dome interceptor missile fell last night in the city of Rishon Lezion, near Tel Aviv, as a result of a technical error.
The Israeli army spokesman added that the incident is being investigated.
The Israeli army spokesman confirmed that there were no “injuries” caused by the interceptor missile falling in Rishon Lezion.
Social media monitored the moment when an Iron Dome missile failed on Sunday night to intercept missiles launched by Hamas from the Gaza Strip, and fell over a residential area in central Israel.
Users of these methods indicated that more than one interceptor missile failed in its mission.
A video clip showed the launch of the first Iron Dome missile to intercept Palestinian rockets coming from the Gaza Strip, with the sound of sirens in the background.
The missile remained in the sky until it disappeared.
Moments later, the second missile was launched from the same launch battery, but for some reason, the missile deviated and fell freely over a residential area, causing a loud sound.
But this event raises more questions about the feasibility of Iron Dome, especially with the proliferation of malfunctions and failures that have followed it in the current war.
On the first day of the war, the Palestinian factions, led by Hamas, fired 5,000 missiles at Israel, exceeding the ability of this system to intercept the missiles, which caused it to be unable to intercept many of them.
