Analyst Note
This munition, believed to be of Israeli origin, has been documented at a number of strike sites in Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran. Although distinctive remnants permit its tentative identification, the lack of a confirmed model name means this munition has been assigned a Temporary Munitions Identifier (TMID) by ARES. This appears in the Tentative Model field of the OSMP so that all records of this munition in the database can be linked under one temporary name. (ARES)

"The intended use of the missile is likely twofold. First, as shown in the documented use cases, the munition is likely intended primarily for conducting precision strikes against high-value targets in areas where significant collateral harm would be undesirable. The second likely use is the targeting of lightly armoured vehicles, lightly hardened structures, and technical equipment. The specific niche of this missile is probably its range, allowing for precision strikes at longer ranges that do not endanger the launch platform or require penetration of contested airspace."
