IDF investigating Jordanian judge's death | The Times of Israel
Loud explosions echoed across Eilat early Tuesday morning, after two projectiles were mistakenly fired from an Iron Dome anti-missile battery stationed there.
The loud booms raised fears of rocket fire on the southern city and sent security forces scrambling to find the source of the fire.
However, an army spokesperson said that the explosions were from two Iron Dome anti-missile projectiles being accidentally fired at about 7:40 a.m.
Initial reports indicated that up to three Grad rockets were shot at the city, but the Israel Defense Forces said Eilat was not targeted.
An army spokesperson said that the Iron Dome battery, which only fires on command, was being checked.
Soldiers manning the batteries are instructed to err on the side of caution and fire if they think there may be a threat, Channel 10 reported.
