— 🇾🇪/🇮🇱 As for why the impact of the Hatem-2 (Iran's Kheybar Shekan-2) was limited, there are four main theories:

1. Yemen lightens the warheads of its ballistic missiles to increase the range, as Yemen is much further from Israel than Iran. This would lead to a lesser warhead and less impact.

2. Yemeni production of Iranian missiles are lesser quality, both in terms of the materials used and the production methods applied. The missile might have disintegrated shortly before impact, due to the immense heat.

3. An Israeli air defense intercepted the missile just before impact, and the small craters / fires are a result of the shrapnel falling down.

4. Yemen somehow used a cluster warhead. This is unlikely because this specific missile hasn't been seen with a cluster warhead before, and its warhead is already relatively light.
