Footage posted to social media shows what could be sub-munitions from an Iranian cluster bomb warhead crashing down in Israel this evening, amid a ballistic missile attack.

Videos show some two dozen fragments streaking through the sky.

It is not confirmed whether these are cluster bomb sub-munitions or other fragments from an intercepted missile.

The IDF has previously confirmed that Iran has launched ballistic missiles carrying cluster bomb warheads at Israel.

The warhead of such missiles, which Iran also fired at Israel in the June 2025 war, opens up while descending and spreads some 20 smaller munitions with around 2.5 kilograms (5.5 pounds) of explosives, in a radius of around eight kilometers (five miles).
