Three people are injured, one of them seriously, at two impact sites in central Israel following Iran’s latest ballistic missile attack, which is suspected to have been a cluster bomb warhead, first responders say.
Magen David Adom says it treated three people with shrapnel injuries — a man in his 40s in serious condition in Tel Aviv, and a 25-year-old in moderate condition and 56-year-old man in good condition in Petah Tikva.

More than a dozen impact sites were reported across central Israel, police officials say, adding that the spread of the impact sites indicates the Iranian ballistic missile was likely carrying a cluster bomb warhead.
The IDF says search and rescue soldiers were dispatched to the scenes, and it is investigating the circumstances of the impacts.
