The IDF has revealed that a ballistic missile impact on the northern Israeli community of Zarzir, Israel, likely caused by the warhead remaining intact despite a successful interception. The missile initially came apart on its own before being hit by an Israeli interceptor, leading to its warhead not being destroyed and impacting the town. The IDF also announced that it will be reinforcing the Lebanese front under the Northern Command. Despite the incident, Iran has only fired nine missiles at Israel in the past two days, a significant decrease in volume since the war began on February 28. The Israeli military has dropped over 10,000 bombs and is developing attacks based on real-time intelligence rather than relying on pre-selected targets.
