A woman in a market allegedly fainted as a result of the incident, and the partial collapse of a shop ceiling was also blamed on the sonic boom.
The incident was reported to be part of the large-scale IDF military exercise taking place in northern Israel. The drill is focused on preparing Israeli soldiers to do battle with Hezbollah in any future conflict.
