As a result of the tragic incident in the Golan Heights, where 12 children died, the Israeli army conducted an investigation and found that a rocket fired by Hezbollah was intercepted, but not intercepted. The alarm siren only sounded for 20 seconds, which the military said did not give enough time to react. Local residents of the Druzh settlement of Majd al-Shams claim that the siren sounded only a moment before the explosion.
Residents are outraged that the IDF’s air defense system failed to shoot down the missile, as it usually does in neighboring areas of the Galilee. In an interview with the KAN TV channel, they emphasize that they feel unprotected because the “Iron Dome” does not ensure their safety.
The military explains that the interception of the missile was made difficult due to the difficult topography of the Hermon foothills and the low flight path. The missile used, an Iranian-made Falak-1, was first used by Hezbollah in January 2024, according to Channel 12 military commentator Nir Dvori. The launch is carried out from a mobile installation, which allows the missile to fly at a low altitude and makes it difficult to intercept it.
Falak-1, weighing 113 kg, carries a 50-kilogram warhead and is capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 10 km. Experts note the similarity of this rocket with the Soviet “Katyusha”, which were widely used in the middle of the 20th century.
