Video : IDF helicopte moved remains of Iranian missile from southern Israel
The Israeli military removed the remains of an intercepted Iranian ballistic missile found by hikers at the Ye’elim stream, close to Arad, in southern Israel earlier this week.
The missile was one of 120 fired at Israel in the Iranian attack on April 14.
An Israeli Air Force CH-53 helicopter lifted the intercepted missile out of the area to another location, where the Fire and Rescue Services removed any hazardous materials.
After it was deemed safe, the remains were taken to an army base to be further examined.
The IDF says the operation, coordinated by the Home Front Command, was “complex” due to the weight of the missile and the difficult terrain.
