Report: Israel may attack Iran with ballistic missiles
Israel is widely assumed to have Jericho missiles capable of hitting Iran with an accuracy of a few dozen meters from target. Such a capability would be free of warplanes’ main drawbacks — limits on fuel and ordnance, and perils to pilots.
Extrapolating from analyst assessments that the most advanced Jerichos carry 750kg conventional warheads, Abdullah Toukan of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies said 42 missiles would be enough to “severely damage or demolish” Iran’s core nuclear sites at Natanz, Esfahan and Arak.
