On Tuesday, March 24, 2026, Iran launched another ballistic missile attack against central Israel
One of the projectiles carried a cluster bomb warhead, which scattered upon hitting the city of Bnei Brak and surrounding areas.
According to the Magen David Adom emergency service, nine people were injured at the scene.
A 23-year-old man was hit by shrapnel and is in moderate condition.
Eight other victims, including six children-including a baby-suffered minor injuries from the explosion or fragments and were taken to hospitals in the region.
All victims are from Bnei Brak.
Cluster bombs release dozens of small explosive charges that disperse over a wide area, increasing the risk of injuring civilians.
Rescuers worked quickly at the scene to treat the injured and ensure the safety of the population.
The attack is part of a recent escalation of tensions between Iran and Israel, with missile launches hitting different parts of the country.
Israeli authorities continue to monitor the situation and reinforce air defenses to protect the civilian population.
