As the regional conflict between Israel and Iran enters a volatile new phase, a banned weapon of war is reappearing over civilian centres. While Israel’s defence systems remain robust, a new threat - the cluster ballistic missile - is testing the limits of safety. Unlike a single warhead, these missiles release hundreds of "bomblets," turning neighbourhoods into active minefields long after the sirens stop.

Iran has launched a ballistic missile equipped with a cluster munition warhead toward Israel. Video footage shows the separation of submunitions, each reportedly containing 2.5-3 kg of explosives, detonating upon impact.
The Cluster Munition Monitor has documented more than 24,800 cluster munition injuries and deaths since the 1960s, three-quarters from unexploded remnants. In 2024, cluster munitions killed at least 314 civilians, the majority of them in Ukraine.
Israel used widely banned cluster munitions in Lebanon, photos of remnants suggest
The use of cluster munitions is widely banned as up to 40% of submunitions do not explode upon impact, posing a danger to civilians who might later stumble upon them and be killed when they explode
