IDF confirms impact in Haifa area despite prior warning

The IDF confirmed Sunday morning that no siren was triggered in Haifa during a wave of Iranian missile launches toward Israel. A preliminary probe found that a missile did strike in the Haifa area, raising the possibility of a malfunction in Israel's air defense interception system. Despite the impact, the IDF emphasized that the alert system itself did not fail and that a preemptive directive had already been issued for the region. The military says the incident is under investigation.
