A 14-year-old youth from the Nazareth area was arrested
on Wednesday for throwing a stone at an Iron Dome battery deployed in the
Jezreel Valley.
The Nazareth Magistrate's Court remanded the teen until
Friday.
The incident occurred when the teen left school in a neighboring
village and then allegedly threw stones at the battery.
Soldiers notified the police which upon arrival noticed
the youth trying to escape.
The teen was arrested and taken for questioning. The
police noted there was no danger for the battery's soldiers, pointing to a
similar incident that occurred last week without any injury.
A third Iron Dome battery was recently deployed in
northern Israel. The IDF said the deployment is part of the general operational
implementation of the Iron Dome system.
Nevertheless, the deployment of three fully-operational
batteries in northern Israel cannot be considered part of the IDF's routine
activity.
Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd is set to supply the
IDF with three additional batteries in the near future.
