A strong explosion sounded in the air over the Marjayoun Plain, in a security development that raised a state of anticipation on both sides of the southern border, before it became clear that the sound was caused by the explosion of an interceptor missile.
The explosion coincided with an Israeli media announcement of the activation of air defense systems in the city of Kiryat Shmona, without clarifying the nature of the object that required the interception operation or the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Israeli media indicated that the circumstances of the incident are still under investigation, at a time when security tension continues on both sides of the southern border.
