Armament Research Services reported on 27 April 2026 that a munition not yet publicly identified had been used in Israeli strikes in Lebanon, the Gaza Strip, and Iran, and that ARES had assigned it the temporary munitions identifier ARES-TMID-0011. The same article said the 2026 Iran incident occurred close to the Imam Ali Missile Base in Khorramabad and may have targeted that site.
The Open Source Munitions Portal links the temporary model entry ARES-TMID-0011 to Iran records OSMP 2141 and OSMP 2151. Both OSMP records are dated 11 March 2026, report Lorestan Province, Veysian, Iran, and classify the item as a rocket or missile with the tentative model ARES-TMID-0011.

Timeline
ARES described the munition as first appearing in late 2024 in Lebanon, then in Gaza from March 2025 onward, before it was documented again in Lebanon and Iran in March 2026. For the Iran use case, OSMP's dated records place two ARES-TMID-0011 entries in Lorestan Province on 11 March 2026.
ARES also noted that local media reported the Iran munition had been downed by Iranian security forces. The OSMP entries list the Iran items as delivered, unfunctioned munition parts, which supports a remnants-based identification rather than a confirmed public Israeli designation.

Narrative
The Iran documentation places ARES-TMID-0011 on the Israeli side of the conflict as a precision strike munition or one-way-attack weapon rather than as a named, acknowledged Israeli service model. ARES assessed the remnants as an Israeli-origin munition and treated the item as a guided weapon with a turbojet engine and wing remnants, consistent with reporting that called it a drone, one-way-attack UAV, or loitering munition missile.
The public evidence does not identify the launcher, manufacturer, or official model name. ARES compared the recurring remnants across Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran and concluded that no publicly acknowledged Israeli munition closely matched them; the OSMP model page keeps the temporary identifier so related records can be linked under one provisional name.
