Patriot missile? I don’t think so. It was obviously an air to air launched from the F-16 that appears in the screen from the same direction a second or two after the kaboom. It would be nuts to be that close to a target knowing that a ground launched Patriot was inbound.

The article says it was air to air from a jet.

Israeli news showed guncam video of the shot being taken from a fixed wing. I expect next time they won’t waste a bullet-—just give the POS some wing wash and pick it up in a basket. This time they might have been curious whether it was armed.
