Emergency teams quickly reached the crash site to secure the area and assist the pilot. While officials have not shared full medical details, early indications suggest the pilot survived the crash.
Viral video shows missile dodging interceptors
Meanwhile, a dramatic video has gone viral on social media showing what is claimed to be an Iranian missile avoiding more than 10 interceptor rockets. In the footage, the missile can be seen flying through the night sky as multiple defence rockets try to stop it. Despite repeated attempts, the missile appears to change direction and continue toward its target. People recording the video can be heard shouting in shock.
The exact location and time of the video have not been confirmed. Some users claim it was filmed in Jerusalem, but there is no official verification.
