IRGC fires 65-missile night wave at Israeli and US positions

·Multiple — Israel, Kuwait, Qatar

The IRGC launches a coordinated night-time ballistic missile wave of approximately 65 missiles across three target sets: Israel (Negev airbases), US positions in Kuwait (Camp Arifjan), and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The vast majority are intercepted but 4 impact in southern Israel and 1 in Kuwait's uninhabited desert perimeter.

Beginning at approximately 21:30 Tehran time, the IRGC launched a night-time wave of ~65 Fateh-313, Dezful, and Emad ballistic missiles across three simultaneous corridors. The coordination suggests pre-programmed firing rather than real-time command — an indicator that IRGC command and control is degrading but launch capability remains. Israel intercepted 58/65 (89%) via Arrow-3, David's Sling, and Iron Dome. 4 missiles impacted in the Negev — 3 in open desert near Ramon Airbase, 1 struck a residential area in Dimona killing 1 civilian and wounding 8. Kuwait intercepted 8 incoming but 1 impacted in uninhabited desert north of Camp Arifjan perimeter. Qatar reported no impacts at Al Udeid. CENTCOM confirmed the intercept success and stated 'our air defence layers are performing at an exceptional level.' The continued ability of the IRGC to launch ~65 missiles on Day 5 indicates the pre-programmed/dispersed mobile launcher strategy ISW identified remains viable. Total IRGC munitions expenditure Day 5: ~350 drones + 105 ballistic missiles across all waves.

PHAROS NOTECENTCOM 89% intercept rate, but 11 missiles getting through highlights the math problem: at scale, even high intercept rates produce real casualties. Dimona casualty near Israel's nuclear facility is strategically significant.
