Injured as a result of falling rockets/according to Section 27 A of the Copyright Law, Eli Ashkenazi
In the shadow of the criticism of the rocket that fell yesterday at the Northern Command camp, killing the soldier Amr Sara Banjo, and injuring several other soldiers, an investigation of the air defense system was presented to the senior air force.
A source familiar with the details of the investigation said that the fall of the Grad rocket in the heart of the Northern Command camp, "was a statistical matter unrelated to the battery operators".
90% of Iron Dome's interception attempts are successful.
One-tenth of missed interceptions are due to technical malfunctions: an electrical signal is delayed by a thousandth of a second, or a statistical malfunction in the computer's mathematical calculations, Wala learned that the Air Force estimates that this was the case yesterday.

"The technology is good and works and it cannot be defined as a technical failure, there is a standard deviation - as with any technological means," added the military official.
"Nothing provides 100% protection, therefore air defense systems are a complement to passive defense and not a substitute for it. It is possible that yesterday things could have been done once, but sometimes the difference between an interception and a miss is a hundredth of a second."
The army is continuing the investigation of the case, and as part of it, testing the warning system at the Northern Command base, and the time of the warning in the area.
At the same time, the emergency procedures were sharpened for the commanders in the sector, who are asked to practice with soldiers the defensive instructions in the event of a rocket attack.
