I did read in one of the British aviation magazines (not one of Keypublishing’s i think) that the missile hit a crane on the helicopter deck. This would match the scenario of a close detonation of a C802.

I personally think the C701 was the culprit it fits into the local picture far better than the C802:

Its smaller making it far easier to conceal and deploy.

It has an IR seeker option thus avoiding the deployment of radars.

Its licence built in Iran.

In all respects the C701 is a more suitable system for an organisation like Hezbollah who haven’t got the resources to support a large complicated weapon system like C802.

If it was a C802, then I find it highly strange that nearby Isreali warships would have classed it as IDFAF jets when the active seeker on the thing should have set off every warning bell they had.

It is possible that the missile involved was a C802, especially if this crane story holds true. But it seems pretty remote to say the least.
