Iranian Cluster Missiles Kill Elderly Couple in Ramat Gan — First Confirmed Israeli Cluster Fatalities

Iranian ballistic missiles carrying cluster warheads struck the Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Gan overnight, killing a couple in their 70s — the first confirmed Israeli civilian fatalities from cluster munitions in the conflict. Eight suspected shrapnel impact sites were identified across greater Tel Aviv. Fragments struck Tel Aviv's Savidor Central Station, Israel's main rail hub in the Tel Aviv area, causing damage and disrupting services. Two additional people sustained light shrapnel injuries. Israeli medics described facing a 'new battlefield' of unexploded cluster submunitions scattered across urban neighborhoods. The IRGC stated the barrage was 'in revenge for the killing of [Ali] Larijani.' Israel is not a signatory to the Convention on Cluster Munitions, and neither is Iran.
