Israel-Iran conflict: Iran deploys the "Haj Qassem" guided ballistic missile in a strike on Israel
Iran has deployed its new Haj Qassem ballistic missile, named after General Qasem Soleimani, targeting Israel in retaliation for Operation Rising Lion. The solid-fueled missile, with a 1,200 km range and advanced guidance, aims to evade defense systems.
