The Israeli army has said it will open an investigation into the failure of an interceptor missile that crashed in central Israel.
The Times of Israel quoted a military statement that said it is examining the possibility of “a technical malfunction” of being behind the crash of the missile.
The incident occurred as the Iron Dome missile interceptor defense system was trying to intercept a barrage of rockets from the Gaza Strip headed to Tel Aviv and surrounding areas Saturday evening.
Video circulating on social media showed the missile crashing in central Israel. No injuries have been reported.
