Defense establishment announces that some missiles in the Thursday morning missile barrage carried cluster bombs
Banned cluster munitions were fired by Iran at Israel, which caused extra damage and injuries.
These missiles carried cluster bombs that exploded upon impact, Iran claimed that the missile that hit Soroka was one of them.
The public is warned not to touch or move suspected explosives that may still be on the ground.
Preliminary findings from one of the impact sites indicate that some of the missiles carried additional explosive payloads, or cluster bombs, that detonated upon impact, according to Israeli defense officials.
This assessment is based on evidence collected at the scene and ongoing analysis by security teams.
A Telegram channel affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) acknowledged: “The warheads used contain smaller submunitions, designed to strike multiple targets simultaneously.
In such missiles, the primary warheads split upon reaching the target, releasing a large number of guided explosive submunitions, causing extensive and precise destruction.
This is what happened in this operation.”
