A large fragment of an Iranian missile, launched towards Israel, was accidentally discovered by a group of tourists in a desert area in southern Israel. This was reported by Tass, citing an IDF report.
The discovered missile was of the “surface-to-surface” type and would have been intercepted by the Israeli air defense during the Iranian attack. This was discovered a few days ago by a group of hikers during a trip near the city of Arad, in the Judean desert, 25 km west of the Dead Sea.
An Israeli Air Force military transport helicopter was involved in recovering the fragment. It will now be examined by specialists from the fire and rescue service. The military reminded that people should never approach or touch missile fragments, because they can still pose a threat to life, and urged people to call the police immediately if such fragments are discovered.
