INVESTIGATION OF ISRAELI MISSILE DEFENSE FAILURE
The Zionist regime military said it was investigating the incident that saw several failures of Israel’s warning system.
No warning sirens were sounded in Caesarea ahead of the drone impact and explosion, Hebrew media reported.
Footage posted to social media appeared to show attack helicopters in the air that were apparently hunting the drone further to the north.
“We heard helicopters above us and there was a feeling that there was some sort of incident but there were no sirens so we were not too worried,” one Caesarea resident told Israeli Channel 12. “But then suddenly a large explosion was heard and it was not clear to us if it was from an interception or a drone impact but it was clear that it was a real incident with no prior warning," Times of Israel reported.
In addition to the drone attacks, Hezbollah also fired rockets at northern Israel.
A barrage of some 20 rockets was fired at the Safed area.
On Friday, the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement announced that it was launching a new phase in its anti-Israel operations in response to the regime’s airstrikes and ground offensive against Lebanon.
