An Israeli fighter jet on the way to the Gaza Strip inadvertently dropped one of its bombs on an open field near Kibbutz Nir Yitzchak in the northwestern Negev on Tuesday evening.
The bomb exploded, but there were no casualties or damage as it landed in an unpopulated agricultural area.
“A short while ago, munitions dropped from a fighter jet during an attack in the Gaza Strip fell in an open area in the Nir Yitzchak area as a result of a technical malfunction,” according to the IDF Spokesperson.
Kibbutz members heard the explosion but initially assumed it was the launch of an Iron Dome interceptor.
