The IDF announced Tuesday that its failure to intercept two missiles Monday — one of which landed in Ramle and the other in Mateh Yehuda Regional Council near Beit Shemesh, lightly wounding a number of civilians — was due to a technical failure and not because Iran had created a new technology that could evade detection.

The missile that landed near Beit Shemesh caused some infrastructure damage to a satellite station and, according to emergency responders, injured two people. Hezbollah claimed the station was the “Communications and Cyber Defense Division of the Israeli enemy army.” However, it is a civilian structure operated by SES, a European company.

The missiles did not trigger a warning siren, and the interceptors missed their mark. Nevertheless, most of the missiles that were launched at Israel that day were safely intercepted. The IDF said that following its investigation, “adjustments were implemented to strengthen interception capabilities against similar threats in the northern area.

Since Hezbollah waded into the fray on the second day of strikes, Israel has responded with force, obliterating 70 rocket launchers in Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon. In addition, an aircraft on Tuesday carried out a strike against Hezbollah infrastructure, killing a cell of terrorists.
