Per The Times of Israel:
The Israeli Air Force is investigating the failure to intercept the ballistic missile that struck the southern city of Arad a short while ago.
The missile, which is assessed to have carried a conventional warhead with hundreds of kilograms of explosives, injured dozens and caused extensive damage.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu shared a statement on X:
This is a very difficult evening in the campaign for our future. Just a short while ago, I spoke with the Mayor of Arad, Yair Maayan, and asked him to convey, on behalf of all Israeli citizens, our prayers for the peace of the injured.
I have instructed the Director General of my office to provide all the necessary assistance together with all government ministries.
I strengthen the emergency and rescue forces operating in the field right now, and I call on everyone to heed the instructions of the Home Front Command.
We are determined to continue to strike our enemies on all fronts.
This is very sad for all of the victims and their loved ones.
Please keep everyone impacted in your prayers.
