LIVE | Iran’s Deadly ‘Fattah-1’ Hypersonic Missiles Destroy Israeli Air Defence; Iron Dome Fails

At least one of 20 ballistic missiles Iran launched at Israel today contained a “cluster bomb warhead”, reports The Times of Israel, citing the Israeli military’s Home Front Command. As such warheads fall, they break apart and scatter a group of smaller munitions, said the report. One of the munitions from today’s attack struck a home in Azor, causing damage, it added. Thousands of people in Israel have become homeless as a result of Iran’s retaliatory missile attacks, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth is reporting.

    cluster munitions

    The text of the convention states that these weapons “kill or maim civilians, including women and children, obstruct economic and social development… impede post-conflict rehabilitation and reconstruction (and) delay or prevent the return of refugees and internally displaced persons… for many years after use.”

    However, Iran, Israel, Russia, Ukraine and the United States have not joined the treaty. While the US halted production in 2008 and converted many stockpiles, it has maintained the right to deploy such munitions in certain conflict scenarios.

    In 2023, after prolonged debate, the US transferred cluster artillery shells to Ukraine for use against Russian forces, as Kyiv accused Moscow of deploying similar weapons in the ongoing conflict.[1]
