Technical malfunction affects the missiles of the occupation forces
This is not the first time an Israeli missile has fallen in the Gaza Strip without detonating. Technical malfunctions are often the cause of some of these missiles not exploding.
The Israeli occupation army has targeted the Gaza Strip with thousands of missiles since the beginning of its war on October 7th. However, some of these missiles fail to explode, primarily due to technical malfunctions.
The resistance used unexploded Israeli missiles
The Palestinian resistance has previously employed such missiles in attacks against tanks and vehicles of the Israeli occupation army in the Gaza Strip.
In December of last year, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, revealed that its fighters had destroyed five Israeli tanks in Jabalia in northern Gaza using two unexploded Israeli missiles.
In a statement, Al-Qassam said that each missile weighed a ton and had been launched by the occupation towards the homes of civilians in Gaza but failed to detonate. The statement added that their fighters planted the missiles along the path of the advancing Israeli vehicles in the Jabalia area, and upon their arrival, the missiles were detonated.
Al-Qassam confirmed that the operation resulted in the destruction of 5 tanks and the killing and injury of all their crew members.
