IDF: Iran Launched Missiles with Banned Cluster Bomb Warheads at Israel
•IDF revealed nearly half of 300 ballistic missiles launched by Iran at Israel carried cluster bomb warheads.
•Most missiles were intercepted, but one with a large warhead exploded in an open area outside Beit Shemesh; no injuries reported.
•Cluster bomb warheads indiscriminately spread submunitions and are banned by the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, which Israel, Iran, and the US have not signed.
•The attacks are Iran's response to a US-Israel bombing campaign, escalating the West Asia conflict and impacting global energy supplies.
•IDF also conducted strikes on Hezbollah assets in Lebanon, eliminating commander Hassan Salameh, and targeted command centers in Tehran and Tabriz.
