The Is­raeli mil­i­tary has as­sessed that Iran used a mis­sile with mul­ti­ple war­heads in its at­tack, ac­cord­ing to an Is­raeli mil­i­tary of­fi­cial. That pos­es a new chal­lenge to de­fences.

The of­fi­cials spoke on the con­di­tion of anonymi­ty in line with mil­i­tary reg­u­la­tions.

In­stead of hav­ing to track one war­head, mis­siles with mul­ti­ple war­heads can pose a more dif­fi­cult chal­lenge for air de­fence sys­tems, like Is­rael’s Iron Dome.
