Translation by SadaNews - The Hebrew newspaper Maariv reported on Friday that an Israeli warplane fired a missile at a target in Gaza City, but the missile fell into the sea.

According to the newspaper, as translated by SadaNews, the missile mistakenly fell into the sea due to a technical malfunction, indicating that it landed only 100 meters from the location of a small naval vessel (boat) of the "Dvora" class.
