The IDF opened an investigation on Wednesday after it was discovered that a missile fired by an IDF combat helicopter toward Gaza early Wednesday morning landed inside an Israeli kibbutz.

The missile fell near a cowshed in a dairy farm near the Gaza border, lightly damaging the shed. Fortunately, the missile did not explode and there were no injuries, despite the fact that farmhands were near the shed when the missile landed.

Bomb sappers were called to the site and removed the missile.
