"Steel Sting" refers to a new weapon that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have deployed against Hamas militants in Gaza. It is a precision-guided mortar bomb with dual guidance that enables an exact hit on terrorist targets in crowded areas, reducing collateral damage. The IDF and the manufacturer Elbit Systems have referred to it as the Iron Sting as well.

It is important to note that "Steel Sting" has no relation to music or guitars, as it is a weapon used in military operations. However, steel-string acoustic guitars are a modern form of guitar that descends from the gut-strung Romantic guitar, but is strung with steel strings for a brighter, louder sound.
