Earlier today (Thursday) the IDF removed the remains of an intercepted Iranian missile which landed in Ye'elim Creek near Arad, after having been fired by Iran towards Israel as part of a massive bombardment in mid-April.

The missile was cleared of dangerous materials and then lifted and removed by a crane operated by IDF forces, with the aid of fire and rescue services.

Last week, the IDF carried out a complex operation removing an intercepted Iranian missile near Arad by air after it was spotted and reported by hikers in the area.
