Israeli authorities were examining pieces of shrapnel to determine the type of missile used in an attack believed to be carried out by Iran on Tuesday. The attack occurred near a school in the central Israeli town of Gedera, causing significant damage. The strike shattered a wall and windows of a second-grade classroom, leaving debris scattered around a large crater measuring approximately 8 feet at its deepest point.
Despite the destruction, no casualties were reported from the incident. Prior to the attack, children had been present at the school, underscoring the potential danger that was narrowly avoided.
Workers and heavy machinery were observed at the site, working to clear the area and collect shrapnel pieces for further analysis. Images and videos captured at the scene revealed remnants of an Iranian ballistic missile, including parts of the guidance section and warhead. However, due to the absence of reference images, identifying the specific model of the missile proved challenging.
The presence of such advanced weaponry in a civilian area raises concerns about the escalating tensions in the region and the potential for further violence. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the destructive capabilities of modern weaponry and the need for continued vigilance in maintaining peace and security.
