Beit Shemesh: Iranian missile was targeted by the wrong interceptor system
The IDF did not deploy the Arrow interceptor against the ballistic missile that struck a residential building in Beit Shemesh, killing nine people.
According to senior officials familiar with the details, the probability of a successful interception would likely have been significantly higher had the Arrow system been used, compared to the system that was ultimately launched.
The Arrow defense system is widely regarded as one of the most advanced ballistic missile interception platforms in the world and is known for its exceptionally high success rate against long-range threats.
At this stage, the Israel Defense Forces has not issued an official response explaining why the Arrow system was not deployed in this specific case.
Security officials stressed that interception decisions are made in real time, based on incoming threat data, the missile’s trajectory, system availability, and operational assessments conducted within seconds.
Sarah, Ronit, Oren and Gavriel Baruch killed in Beit Shemesh
The names of four of the nine people killed in the Iranian missile strike on Beit Shemesh have been cleared for publication: Sarah Elimelech, her daughter Ronit Elimelech, Oren Katz, and Gavriel Baruch Revach (16), of blessed memory.
The deadly incident occurred when an Iranian ballistic missile made a direct hit on a shelter located inside a synagogue in the city. According to initial assessments, several of the victims were inside the shelter at the time of impact, while others were in adjacent buildings.
Jerusalem District Police Commander Avshalom Peled said at the scene that some of the fatalities were apparently inside the shelter when it sustained the direct strike. He noted that the Home Front Command is examining whether the shelter was functioning properly.
The Israel Defense Forces stated that a preliminary investigation found the alert system operated as required prior to the missile impact.
Sixty people were wounded in the attack. Three are listed in critical condition, including a young girl. Five were moderately injured - among them two children, including a four-year-old - while the remainder, some of them children, sustained light injuries. Hadassah Medical Center reported that a pregnant woman was among the injured.
Fire and Rescue Services said more than 70 victims were evacuated from the scene.
Home Front Command commander Shai Klapper said the direct hit appears to have breached the shelter’s protective structure. Commander Peled explained that while reinforced shelters and protected rooms provide substantial protection from nearby impacts and shrapnel, they have not withstood direct hits from heavy ballistic missiles.
At the scene, the Police Commissioner stressed that despite the tragic outcome, protected rooms and public shelters remain the safest places to be during rocket and missile attacks.
Date Of Israel’s Attack In Iran Has Both Secular And Religious Symbolism
The Hebrew date of Israel’s surprise attack on Israel, the eleventh of Adar, has historic overtones in the history of Zionism, as noted by Prime Minister Netanyahu in his speech on Saturday night.
Ever the son of a historian and sensitive to dates with profound significance, Netanyahu explained that he had called the current campaign against Iran Sha’agat H’ari, or Roaring Lion, because it coincided with Tel Hai day, the day on which Joseph Trumpeldor and seven other Jewish settlers died a heroic death while defending the Tel Hai compound in northern Israel (Kiryat Shmona is named for these eight heroes).
Trumpeldor and his comrades are immortalized in the “Roaring Lion” statue located in nearby Kfar Giladi. Since Netanyahu hails from a family that revered Jabotinsky and Betar (an acronym for Brit Yosef Trumpeldor), it is only natural that he should see his Iranian operation as a continuation of the Zionist enterprise of Trumpeldor, a soldier and farmer who never hesitated in his efforts to create both viable Jewish communities in Israel and provide the necessary protection for those communities.
However the date of the attack also coincided with Shabbat Zachor, and the timing of the initial strike was at the very moments that the Torah portion requiring us to remember the acts of Amalek and never forget them was being read in Israel in thousands of shuls. In our generation there was one regime which had both relentlessly called for the physical destruction of Israel and has done more than any other country to threaten and to fund its proxies who have ceaselessly attacked Israel in the past two decades. Eliminating Khamenei, the leader of the evil regime for nearly four decades, felt like a deja vu reenactment of the Haftorah in which Shmuel decapitates Agag the Amalekite king.
The operation in Iran is far from over, and as the painful tragedy in Beit Shemesh on Sunday proves, it already has a bitter price for Israel, but the timing is fortuitous, for as the Gemara says, if a Jew has to spar with a gentile in court, he should aim to set the case for Adar, which is a time of fortune for the Jewish nation.

Iranian warhead found near Har Habyis
Police revealed on Sunday that with the launch of Operation Roaring Lion, the warhead of an Iranian missile was located in an open area in Jerusalem’s Old City, just a few hundred meters from the Western Wall and the Temple Mount.
Jerusalem District police officers and bomb disposal experts were called to the scene after an explosion was heard and smoke was identified. Extensive searches carried out in the area led to the discovery of the warhead, along with incendiary materials and explosive components that had scattered across the site.
The item was neutralized at the scene by police sappers and transferred for further examination at explosives laboratories.
Police emphasized that all holy sites in the Old City remain closed to worshippers and visitors in accordance with Home Front Command guidelines, and called on the public to refrain from approaching the area.
Commander of the David Subdistrict, Chief Superintendent Dvir Tamim, said, “Home Front Command guidelines save lives. Yesterday we received further proof that from the enemy’s perspective, all targets are legitimate. If that warhead had veered just a few hundred meters, it is very possible that extremely serious damage would have occurred, particularly if one of the holy sites had been struck while filled with worshippers and visitors. We will continue to act to enforce the Home Front Command’s instructions in order to protect and safeguard the security of civilians."
