Israeli Army Acknowledges Failure to Intercept Two Iranian Missiles, Calls it an "Incidental" Event
On the 22nd local time, the Israeli Air Force stated that two Iranian ballistic missiles that struck the southern Israeli cities of Dimona and Arad on the evening of the 21st were not intercepted, and these incidents were independent occurrences without systemic issues.
The Israeli military claimed that the two incidents occurring in close proximity in time and location were purely coincidental. The missiles carried conventional warheads with hundreds of kilograms of explosives, and although the Israeli air defense system attempted to intercept them, it was unsuccessful. The Israeli military indicated that these missiles might belong to the "Qadr" series.
The Israeli military also stated that since the beginning of this round of conflict, Iran has launched over 400 ballistic missiles at Israel, with an interception success rate of approximately 92% for targets in densely populated areas and critical infrastructure. (Reporter: Liang Hui, Jiang Haoyu)
