Iran has reportedly fired ballistic missiles armed with cluster munitions toward Israel, marking a dangerous escalation in the ongoing Middle East conflict. Israeli defence officials say these weapons disperse many smaller bomblets over wide areas, posing increased risk to civilians and leaving unexploded hazards. Several missiles struck near Tel Aviv, injuring civilians and damaging homes, though no confirmed deaths have been reported so far. The use of such weapons—controversial due to their indiscriminate impact—has stirred suspicion about foreign technology links. This development adds to hostilities triggered by recent U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iran’s leadership and strategic sites.
