Israeli hikers had an unexpected encounter with an unexploded Iranian missile while enjoying a hiking trail in the desert late on Tuesday. This discovery comes after hundreds of missiles were fired at Israel by Iran earlier this month. Despite the hikers’ discovery, the IDF Homefront Command acknowledged knowledge of the missile’s presence but did not take any measures to prevent civilians from reaching it, almost two weeks after it breached air defenses and landed in the desert. Earlier, another missile that had landed near the shores of the Dead Sea was collected by the military’s Engineering Corps. It was subsequently dismantled and put on display for foreign media outlets. The Israeli military’s lack of action regarding the missile found by the hikers has raised concerns, as it highlights the potential risks faced by civilians in areas where unexploded ordnance may be present. Experts emphasize the importance of reporting any such discoveries to the authorities immediately, as these missiles can pose a significant safety hazard.
