Changes in Iran's missile patterns

The IDF has detected a change in the nature and pace of missile launches from Iran over the course of the last three days, KAN News reported on Monday.

This change, KAN reported, is reflected in larger and more coordinated barrages — between 9 and 30 missiles in a single barrage.  Iran has moved from "dripping" to more coordinated and organized firing, resembling the strikes during the June 2025 Twelve-Day War, per the report.

Additionally, after Hezbollah's joining the campaign, the IDF is preparing for the possible joining of the Houthis to the campaign, alongside Hezbollah, KAN reported.
