Israeli authorities are investigating a missile strike in central Tel Aviv that may have involved a weapon breaking into several parts before impact.

The Israeli government’s press office described the incident as a direct hit from a ballistic missile.

A police commander in the Tel Aviv area also told a local Israeli television station that the impact involved what he described as a “splitting missile.”

The description has raised the possibility that the weapon may have been a type of cluster munition. These weapons contain smaller explosive “bomblets” that separate from the main missile and spread across a wider area after the initial explosion.

Israel has previously accused Iran of using similar munitions earlier in the conflict and during the 12-Day War last June.

Cluster munitions are banned by more than 100 countries under the Convention on Cluster Munitions, although Iran, Israel and the United States are not signatories to the treaty.

At the scene of the explosion in Tel Aviv, a CNN reporter said investigators were examining debris believed to be part of the missile.

“Debris still falls in central Tel Aviv even after interceptions. One key piece behind me here that investigators are poring over, one official here telling us that it seems to perhaps be one of the warheads we’ve noticed that appear to split in the sky and send off separate fragments down. Now nobody as far as we understand injured in this location but it’s a sign that despite the fact we’ve seen probably less missiles overall fired by Iran over the past days, it only takes one even with the sophisticated air defences here to cause some havoc in a scene like this.”

The reporter, in to a CNN video sighted by Tribune Online, added that the strike has drawn attention from investigators trying to determine whether the weapon signals a change in Iran’s missile capabilities.

“But across the region the focus perhaps now turning as it’s clear Iran’s missile capacities have come down on their ability to wreak havoc closer to Iranian shores with drones that are hitting around the but the scene behind me here is still one of intense scrutiny as I think they try and work out if this marks some kind of new development in Iranian missile technology.”

I just pity innocent Iranian people because if Iran Islamic terrorist government provoke Israel further, Israel will forget about restraint and bomb Iran out of global map.



For your information, Israel have both nuclear weapons that can wipe out Iran and never seen cluster bombs that 100 of it will turn Iran to a desolate land.



I just pray the Islamic terrorist regime in Iran apply wisdom and step aside on time because they just want to end Iran completely

Iran gave you a glimpse of what they're capable of during the 12 day war, why go and attack them again? You should have just stayed within the confines of your powers and kept flexing your muscles against the likes of Syria and Lebanon, we wouldn't have known you were this toothless.

LagosOrigin:
Iran is giving Israel and United States the opportunity to nuke them

Iran is no match for Israel, Israel is even fighting them with compassion, if not many civilian would have lost their lives, calm down, you would soon found that Israel also have some deadly weapon that if deployed, you will hit the streets in protest.😊
