The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Home Front Command suspects that one of the Israeli air defense interceptors malfunctioned and crashed in the Haifa area during a recent ballistic missile attack from Iran. This incident caused the air raid sirens in the northern city to fail.
Details of the incident
- The early warning system transmitted a signal via a cellular connection, but the sirens in Haifa were not activated, as the missiles were not aimed directly at the city.
- According to preliminary data from the investigation of the Home Front Command, during the attack, one of the air defense interceptors malfunctioned, which crashed in the Haifa area.
- The causes of the failure and the circumstances of the crash continue to be investigated.
The lack of sirens caused concern among the residents of Haifa and called into question the effectiveness of the warning system in the face of rocket attacks. The IDF will strengthen the verification and modernization of its air defense and warning systems to minimize the risks of a repeat of such situations.
