More than a dozen surface-to-air missiles were fired during the night (Wednesday through Thursday) at planes attacking Syria.

The SA-5 missile that penetrated Israeli territory was supposed to explode in the air in the northern region in the event of the planes missing, but due to a malfunction it continued on its course and exploded over the south of the country.

The interceptor missile fired at him is not supposed to intercept anti-aircraft missiles, which is one of the reasons why he missed the target.

A red alarm was sounded in the Negev area near Dimona.

The IDF said that it was a SA5 Syrian anti-aircraft missile aimed at Air Force planes, penetrated Israeli airspace and exploded near Dimona.

The explosion of the anti-aircraft missile was well heard in the area of ​​Jerusalem, the Shephelah and the south. 

The SA-5 SAM missile that exploded near Dimona is an old anti-aircraft missile used by many armies around the world. It is not considered part of the arsenal of precision and sophisticated missiles of recent years. But the old SAM missiles made in Russia were involved in quite a few famous events. .

 March 2017, a number of SA-5 missiles were fired at Israeli planes that bombed a target in Syria.

One of the missiles continued in the direction of Israel and was intercepted by an Arrow 2. On October 16, 2017, the Syrian army launched an SA-5 surface-to-air missile at Israeli Air Force fighter jets hovering in Lebanese skies.

The planes were not hit and returned by firing guided bombs that destroyed the anti-aircraft battery radar that attacked them.

"Following the report of a warning, a surface-to-air missile from Syrian territory to Israeli territory was identified, which fell in the Negev region," the IDF said. "In response, the IDF attacked the battery that launched the missile and other surface-to-air missile batteries in Syrian territory."

A Syrian military source told the Sana network: "Around 1:38 tonight, Israel carried out an air strike from the Golan Heights on several points in the Damascus area. The air defense systems were activated against the Israeli attack, dropping most of the missiles. The attack also caused four wounded soldiers and damage."
