The IDF says it is investigating the circumstances of the impacts in central Israel this evening after Iran launched a ballistic missile with a cluster bomb warhead.

Suspected missile fragments or cluster munitions sparked a fire on the roof of a building in Shoham, caused damage to a highway, and damaged cars in Rishon Lezion, according to rescue services.
