Analysts say this tactic reduces the effectiveness of defensive interceptors used by Israel. Meanwhile, the US and Israel have intensified attacks on Iranian infrastructure, targeting military bases, fuel depots, and logistics facilities to weaken Iran’s war capabilities. In another development, Israeli forces carried out a targeted drone strike in Beirut, Lebanon, reportedly killing a commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force.
