The missile launched from Iran at central Israel a short while ago was likely carrying a cluster-bomb warhead, footage shows.

No injuries are reported in the attack, the tenth from Iran since midnight, medics say. The IDF Home Front Command says civilians in areas where sirens sounded can now leave bomb shelters.

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

The warhead of such missiles opens up while descending and spreads dozens of smaller munitions, in a radius of around 8km.
