Context: Iran launched Operation True Promise 3, escalating military strikes on Israel for the third consecutive day.
About Operation True Promise 3:
• What is it? Operation True Promise 3 is Iran’s latest retaliatory military campaign targeting Israeli cities and infrastructure in response to Israeli airstrikes on its nuclear and command facilities.
• Operation True Promise 3 is Iran’s latest retaliatory military campaign targeting Israeli cities and infrastructure in response to Israeli airstrikes on its nuclear and command facilities.
• Launched by: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) under the directive of Iran’s supreme military leadership.
• Trigger: It was launched after Israel’s pre-emptive strikes that killed several top Iranian generals and damaged nuclear enrichment sites at Natanz and Isfahan.
• Impact: Key Israeli cities like Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Rehovot were hit. Power stations, refineries, and scientific institutions were damaged.

About “New Method” Used in Missile Strikes:
• What is the “New Method”? The IRGC claimed to have deployed a novel strike mechanism wherein multiple missile types were programmed to overwhelm Israel’s air defence systems by creating internal target conflicts.
• The IRGC claimed to have deployed a novel strike mechanism wherein multiple missile types were programmed to overwhelm Israel’s air defence systems by creating internal target conflicts.
• How It Works? Simultaneous launches triggered misaligned threat signatures, forcing Israel’s defence systems (like Iron Dome) to misidentify or intercept each other. Some missiles intentionally mimicked decoys to create false positives in radar systems.

• Features: Decoy Saturation: Overloaded Iron Dome by flooding the airspace with both real and false targets. Internal Disruption: Israel’s layered defence was made to target itself or malfunction. Multi-Target Penetration: Enabled missiles to hit high-density residential zones and economic infrastructure. AI-assisted Trajectory Alteration: Enhanced missile agility mid-flight for unpredictable targeting.

• Strategic Significance: Signals a tech leap in asymmetric warfare using cyber-kinetic convergence. Raises alarms over vulnerabilities in multi-layered missile defence Could alter the future of urban warfare, especially where high-value civilian and economic targets are clustered.
