On Monday, children were pictured with part of a similar munition after it landed in a nursery school playground, also in the West Bank.
Last week, a missile was pictured with its tailfin protruding from the ground in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

Thousands of munitions have been fired since hostilities began on 28 February, with 372 missiles and 1,806 drones launched at the UAE alone.
