The Iron Dome air defense system suffered a technical malfunction, allowing a Gaza rocket to inflict a direct hit on a Rehovot building, killing one person and injuring eight others. The rocket launched by Gaza landed on the building at a "complex angle." This comes after a similar technical defect in the Iron Dome last week led to a small number of rockets penetrating Israel's "missile shield."

A research rocket launched by Sweden Space Corp (SSC) from Esrange Space Center in northern Sweden malfunctioned and landed 15 km inside neighbouring Norway. The rocket reached an altitude of 250 kilometers where experiments were carried out in zero gravity. Work on retrieving the payload is underway and an investigation is being launched to determine the technical details behind the unplanned flight path. The Norwegian authorities take any unauthorized activity on the Norwegian side of the border very seriously.
