A missile fired from Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system hit an Israeli Navy boat, killing one Navy officer.
The Israeli military announced Sunday that an officer aboard the Devora, Third Petty Officer David Moshe Ben Shatrit, was killed by an Iron Dome interceptor that was fired to shoot down a drone in the vicinity of the plane.
About three to four kilometers off the coast near the Israel-Lebanon border, the Doora ship was deployed to protect the coast from attack and help identify Hezbollah threats.
The ship returned to the port of Haifa where the small part of the ship that was damaged is being repaired.
Dvora is expected to return to the sea within 24 to 48 hours.
