Unfortunately, the massive explosion at Beit Shemesh might have also destroyed a large stockpile of surface-to-air missiles belonging to a nearby Arrow-3 anti-ballistic missile battery of the Israel Defense Forces tonight.
The exploded storage facility is located next to an area where dozens of interceptors for one of the IDF’s two Arrow-3 batteries are believed to be stored, where canisters of sodium perchlorate and other explosive materials were stored.
