#1 Over whose territory will the intercepted Shahabs explode now, over which non-Jewish people will Iran's radioactive death rain down? I think this would be highly interesting to Israel's neighbors, and the information should be repeated loudly and often.

#2 Where in its trajectory the warhead is destroyed after all propulsive stages fire will not substantially change its impact point, at least in terms of which nation is hit. I used to do these kinds of trajectory simulations when working in the defense industry.

#3 Rite, that's why pieces of Columbia tried to land at KSC.

#4 If I understand you correctly, VRWC, the now headless missile will continue until it lands in Israel? But what happens to the radioactivity of the nuclear warhead if it is exploded by Israel's missile defence shield before reaching its target? Surely the anti-missile missile won't be hot enough to burn up a nuclear load with no residue? And feel free to throw in some simple physics equations for me to ponder; a difficult mental challenge is good for me! Thanks loads.

#5 I think the answer has been demonstrated already.
Remember a few years back when a nuclear tipped titan blew up in it's silo and threw it's warhead a mile and a half away?

No leakage, no explosion, no contamination, those things are designed to go through hell without breaking apart.

I think no problem, just send a team with a heavy crane and pick it up out of the crater wherever it hit, check for radiation and haul it away.
