Contrary to claims by Iran, Israeli military officials say the missiles launched at Israel by Iran are not maneuverable.
The Iranian Fars news agency claimed this morning that Israel was hit by the “Haj Qassem guided ballistic missile,” which Iran unveiled in May and said was equipped with a maneuverable warhead.
According to IDF officials, the missiles launched by Iran in the past two days have been similar to those fired at Israel in April and October 2024.
The military has previously said that Iran does not possess “hypersonic missiles,” and the missiles launched at the country are not maneuverable.
A military official tells The Times of Israel that Iran’s missiles are “not something we don’t know how to intercept.”
