Withers below half health can be hit by fireballs. As wither armor was not detailed in the 12w34b changelog, it is unknown whether this is intended, but the behavior is inconsistent with breezes since 24w03a.
To reproduce
/summon wither ~ ~ ~ {Silent:1b,NoAI:1b,Health:10f}/summon fireballPunch the fireball at the wither
It hits the wither and deals damage
