A two-story building in Beit She'an, a city in northern Israel near the Jordan border, was destroyed in an Iranian drone attack on Saturday, June 21. The assault saw an Iranian attack drone breach Israel’s air defense system, marking a rare breach. Israeli military personnel and emergency responders are currently examining the debris.
The Israeli military acknowledged the incident, describing it as an unusual case where an Iranian one-way attack drone successfully penetrated their defenses. According to CNN, the explosion caused a large crater near the building, with windows and doors blown out. Israel’s emergency service agency, Magen David Adom (MDA), has been searching the rubble but has reported no casualties so far.
A second Iranian drone struck an open area in southern Israel, causing no damage. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that Iran’s latest attack involved at least six drones, several of which were intercepted before reaching their targets in areas like the Arava Desert and Golan Heights.
Israeli military officials claim that since Israel began strikes on Iran last week, Iran has launched over a thousand drones, most of which were neutralized before reaching their targets. The incident has raised concerns about vulnerabilities in Israel’s defense systems.
