Israel is burning through their defense ammunition at a record pace because Iran's missiles now have warheads that split apart into smaller rockets.

Factcheck: The claim holds up based on current reporting. IDF officials stated Iran has fired missiles with cluster warheads that split into ~20 submunitions while descending, saturating defenses and forcing more intercepts per threat. This tactic, seen in recent barrages, is accelerating depletion of Israeli (and allied) interceptor stocks after heavy 2025-2026 usage, per IDF, Bloomberg, NYT, and Times of Israel. The video aligns with footage of such saturation attacks.
