NEW: Two Iranian ballistic missiles struck Dimona and Arad in the Negev on March 21 and 22, respectively. Almost 200 people were injured in the two attacks. The IDF reported a 92-percent interception rate throughout the war. Only five other missiles carrying conventional warheads have struck populated areas in Israel in that time. The IDF said that the two missiles that struck Dimona and Arad were likely Ghadr variants. Ghadr missiles are liquid-fuel, medium-range ballistic missiles with a range of 1,950 kilometers, which means that Iran can launch Ghadr. Iran is increasingly firing missiles from central Iran due to the IDF‘s destruction of Iranian launchers in western Iran, according to the

Iran launched at least three missiles carrying cluster munitions that impacted around Tel Aviv on March 22. A cluster munition warhead contains submunitions that disperse over a wide area and are intended to maximize damage. Iran likely calculates that using cluster munitions is more likely to cause Israeli casualties and impose costs on Israel for its air campaign against Iran.
Around 70 percent of Iranian missile launches have reportedly carried cluster munitions.

The US-Israeli combined force is continuing to strike Iranian missile assets and launchers.  @BenTzionMacales identified that recent US CENTCOM footage showed US forces striking the Haji Abad missile base in Hormozgan Province and the Darab missile base in Fars Province. CENTCOM also reported that it struck the Kuh-e Barjamali ballistic missile assembly facility east of Tehran. Iran built short and medium-range ballistic missiles there.
