IDF tank-shield intercepts missile

The IDF’s Windbreaker defense system has intercepted an anti-tank missile fired at a tank in the central Gaza Strip, near Kissufim on Wednesday.

An IDF inquiry suggests that the tank shield detected a missile launch during operational activity near the border fence. No injuries were reported.

…Lieutenant-Colonel Yoav Shukrun, Commander of the Kfir Brigade’s Haruv Battalion said that Hamas and the Islamic Jihad “are trying to drag us into a broader conflict. There is nothing innocent about cells approaching the fence and no one is doing it to forge peace with Israel.”
