A second person has died as a result of yesterday morning’s Iranian cluster missile strike in Yehud, Petah Tikva Mayor Rami Greenberg says in a statement.

The strike by an Iranian ballistic missile with a cluster bomb munition killed one person yesterday and injured two others seriously. This morning, the second victim died at Sheba Medical Center, according to Hebrew media.

The two men were working at a construction site in the city of Yehud when the cluster bomb munition struck the area. Both were not in a bomb shelter, according to first responders.

Greenberg says both were Petah Tikva residents and sends condolences to their families. One victim is identified as Rostam Golumov, 61. The second resident’s name has not yet been released.
