Israel has released a picture of the remnants of Iranian missiles that were fired on October 1. Israel faced an unprecedented aerial assault when over 180 ballistic missiles were fired from Tehran. The large-scale attack, which targeted several locations across Israel, marked a significant escalation in tensions between the two nations.

In response, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), alongside several national agencies, launched a coordinated effort to manage the aftermath.

Taking to X, IDF stated, "These are the remnants of some of the 180+ ballistic missiles that Iran fired at Israel on October 1. We don’t just neutralize terrorism, we clean it up too."

The Israeli military, working in cooperation with Israel Police, Fire and Rescue Services, and other local authorities, located and removed 27 remnants of the missiles scattered across the country. These remnants, considered hazardous, were safely extracted by IDF engineering units under the supervision of the Home Front Command.

The careful and thorough operation ensured that the missile remnants did not pose any further danger to citizens or the environment.

The removal efforts were not confined to a single area but spread across multiple locations, as missile debris was found in residential zones, natural reserves, and public areas. The Israel Nature and Parks Authority was involved in ensuring the safe removal of missile parts from ecologically sensitive areas.

While 27 missile remnants have already been secured, the IDF has indicated that their work is not yet complete. The removal of additional remnants is expected in the coming days, with continued cooperation from local and national agencies. The successful cleanup underscores Israel’s robust defence and recovery capabilities in the face of large-scale attacks.

This incident has highlighted the increasing threat of Iranian missile technology and its ability to reach Israeli territory, further escalating tensions in the Middle-East region. Despite the severity of the attack, the coordinated efforts of the IDF and various Israeli authorities have mitigated the potential for further harm to civilians and infrastructure.
