The IDF suspects that at least one of the missiles launched by Iran this morning was carrying multiple munitions, or a type of cluster bomb.
Iran has claimed to possess Multiple Independently Targetable Reentry Vehicles (MIRV) ballistic missiles, as well as other projectiles with submunitions, which allow a single missile to hit several targets.
During scans in central Israel, several small munitions were located, indicating that such a missile may have been used.
The military is investigating the incident further.
Iranian missiles today directly hit Beersheba’s Soroka Hospital, causing injuries and widespread damage, and caused dozens of injuries and heavily damaged dozens of buildings in Ramat Gan and Holon.
