Unexploded Israeli Missile Discovered in Keserwan Mountain Region

An Israeli missile landed in the Lebanese village of Hrajel, situated approximately three kilometers west of the popular skiing destination of Faraya, on Tuesday. According to Tony Zoughaib, the Chairman of Hrajel’s Municipal Council, the missile landed without detonating or causing any casualties. Zoughaib claimed that the missile, allegedly associated with a drone, appeared to have fallen mistakenly in the village while en route to the Bekaa Valley for a mission.

The missile landed on undeveloped land in the Saoumaha district of the Christian village in Kesrouan, approximately 50 meters from the main road at the village entrance, surrounded by houses. Fortunately, there were no reported casualties or damage.

The incident prompted concern among the local residents. Zoughaib noted that the area, located at an altitude of 1,300 meters in Mount Lebanon, has been experiencing daily air activity by Israeli reconnaissance and observation aircraft since October 7. He recalled that while the sound of Israeli planes was routine, the community was alarmed by a loud whistle preceding the missile's fall.

Upon the incident, the army and relevant authorities swiftly responded, cordoning off the area surrounding the missile and ensuring the site remained clear of civilians, Zoughaib confirmed. He added that he is awaiting further information regarding the nature of the device.
