Weapons experts believe
Israel may have used a new air-launched ballistic missile to carry out its
limited strikes on Iran - information that the BBC has not independently
verified at this time.
Unnamed US officials have
told US media that Israel fired three missiles from outside Iranian territory
at an air defence radar near Isfahan.
John Ridge, a US-based weapons
expert, suggested on X, formerly known as Twitter, that it could have been a
new air-launched ballistic missile - known as Rocks - produced by the
Israeli defence firm Rafael.
A British weapons expert also
believed the attacks had involved the use of an air-launched ballistic missile
by Israel for the first time.
The UK expert, who did not want to be named, has
told the BBC: “I think they are sending Iran a message.”
Iranian sources initially
said the attacks were carried out by drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(UAVs) and claim it was thwarted.
There has been no official confirmation
in Israel that they carried out the attack or what caused the explosions.
