Iran Fires Cluster Bombs At Israel, Rain Down Submunitions On Civilians; First During This War
Iran has intensified its confrontation with Israel by launching a missile armed with a cluster munitions warhead — the first known use of the controversial weapon in the current war. The warhead broke apart midair, scattering deadly submunitions across central Israel, with one hitting a home in Azor. Though there were no casualties, the Israeli military condemned the attack as a deliberate act targeting civilians. Cluster bombs are widely criticized for their long-term danger due to unexploded ordnance. Israel and Iran are among the few countries not part of the international ban on these weapons. The incident marks a dangerous escalation in tactics with global implications.#clusterbombs #IranMissileStrike #IsraelUnderAttack #MiddleEastTensions #IranVsIsrael #BallisticMissiles #BreakingNews #sorokahospital #MissileAttack #DaylightStrike #IDF

Over 650 Iranian Military Personnel, Civilians Killed In Israeli Strikes
Tehran: A US-based NGO said Friday that Israel's strikes against Iran have killed at least 657 people including civilians and members of the security forces, a toll based on sources and reports in Iran. The Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) said that at least 263 civilians had been killed nationwide since Israel began its strikes on June 13. Among these, it said it had verified the identities of more than 20 children who have been killed, mostly in Tehran. It added that 164 members of the military had also been killed. The overall death toll includes 230 people who HRANA was unable to determine whether they were civilians or members of the security forces. More than 2,000 members of the security forces and civilians had been wounded as of early Friday, it added. The group said strikes had taken place in 21 of Iran's 31 provinces. HRANA is part of the Human Rights Activists NGO, which was set up inside Iran in 2005 but later shifted to the United States in the face of repression from the Iranian authorities. It publishes dozens of reports a day, outlining human rights violations inside Iran. Israel said its campaign was aimed at halting Tehran from obtaining an atomic bomb, an ambition Iran denies having. Iranian authorities said Sunday that Israeli strikes had killed at least 224 people, including military commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians. It has not issued an updated toll since then. Iranian strikes launched in response have also caused damage in Israel, where at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds wounded, according to the authorities.

He cited Iran's ballistic missile buildup, nuclear advancements, and the growing influence of its regional proxies as reasons that 'compelled us to strike and deliver a preemptive blow.''The IDF will not stand by and watch as threats develop,' Zamir said. 'We will act proactively and in advance to prevent an existential threat and to face any challenge.'Describing the opening strikes as a success, Zamir claimed that Israel had achieved 'extraordinary results' by eliminating senior Iranian command figures, severely damaging nuclear infrastructure, and destroying nearly half of Iran's missile launchers—some just moments before opened an aerial corridor to Tehran and surprised the enemy despite its heightened state of alert,' he noted that the IDF had been preparing for this operation for years, and that it was launched at a moment of strategic advantage that 'history would not forgive' Israel for missing.'Had we delayed, there was a risk of entering the campaign from a position of clear disadvantage,' he added. 'We understood that history would not forgive us if we failed to act now to defend the existence of the Jewish people in the State of Israel.'Addressing Israeli citizens, Zamir acknowledged the toll of incoming missile barrages targeting civilians but framed the resilience of the home front as a source of strength.'Our enemies do not understand that the Israeli home front is the source of the IDF's strength, not its weakness,' he the military gears up for an extended engagement, Zamir emphasized that while the initial results are significant, the mission is far from over.'We have embarked on the most complex campaign in our history,' he said.
