Iran’s Cluster Missile Strike Challenges Israel’s Air Defenses | Middle East War Escalates | N18G

A new and dangerous phase of the Middle East conflict is unfolding as Iran reportedly deploys cluster-munition missiles against Israel, creating a major challenge for Israeli air defense systems. Cluster missiles work differently from conventional warheads. Instead of a single explosive payload, the missile splits mid-air and releases dozens of smaller bomblets across a wide area, making them far harder to intercept and increasing the risk of widespread damage. Military analysts say this tactic allows one missile to turn into multiple projectiles, potentially overwhelming missile defense systems designed to intercept individual incoming rockets. Some reports suggest that nearly half of the missiles fired by Iran in recent barrages carried cluster warheads, significantly complicating Israel’s defensive response. #Iran #Israel #MiddleEastWar n18oc_live CNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
