Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say they fired a Sejjil ultra-heavy, long-range, two-stage missile at Israel this evening.
While Iran appeared to try to posit this as an escalation in its responses, the Sejjil does not have significantly different capabilities from the hundreds of missiles Iran has already fired at Israel.
The missile was intercepted by the IDF, with fragments causing minor damage to a vehicle.
