## Israel Army Says Iran Using Cluster Munitions

Authored by english.aawsat.com

Israel's military Friday said that Iran had launched cluster bombs "multiple times" since the start of the war that began with a US-Israeli attack on the country last week.

"They (the Iranians) are using cluster munitions", military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani said during a press briefing, without providing details on when and where those munitions were launched.

Neither Iran nor Israel are among more than a hundred countries that are party to the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, which prohibits the use, transfer, production and storage of cluster bombs.

AFP footage from Thursday evening showed a swarm of flaming projectiles falling in the darkened sky over central Israel.

Israel's police had said Wednesday that bomb disposal experts found evidence of cluster munitions after incoming missiles from Iran were detected.

During Israel's 12-day war with Iran in June 2025, the NGO Amnesty International reported Tehran’s use of widely banned cluster munitions.

The organization had said it analyzed photos and videos showing cluster munitions that, according to media reports, struck inside the Gush Dan metropolitan area around Tel Aviv on June 19. »
