"US Deployed Multi-Bladed 'Ginsu' Missile to Target Iran-Backed Militia Leader in Iraq"

The US used a modified hellfire missile, known as the "flying ginsu," to kill Iran-backed Kataib Hezbollah leader Abu Baqr al-Saadi in Iraq in February, as retaliation for attacks against a military base in Jordan. The missile, which does not contain a warhead, utilizes a ring of blades to shred its target, minimizing civilian casualties. This weapon has been used in the past to kill high-profile targets, and the US is carrying out "multitiered" strikes against Iranian-backed militias in the Middle East due to hostilities in the region.
