Many homes were destroyed. Windows shattered throughout the area. Some of the casualties were in a shelter. But the missile hit the shelter directly and destroyed it.
The IDF investigated the incident. They said that the Arrow system did not participate in the interception. The IDF launched other interceptors. But the interception was unsuccessful. Israel's defense systems succeed in intercepting the vast majority of missiles. But unfortunately, not all of them.
