An Israeli TV correspondent in southern Israel, revealed new details about the missile that fell on the Taba City Ambulance building, injuring six Egyptian citizens and causing damage to the building.

The Israeli television correspondent claimed that investigations were being conducted into whether the missile was launched towards Eilat, but it accidentally fell on the Egyptian Taba.
