At least six submunitions from an Iranian ballistic missile carrying a cluster bomb warhead struck central Israel, rescue services say.

One bomblet impact killed a man in his 60s who was not in a bomb shelter, and another submunition hit a residential building and lightly wounded two men in their 50s, according to the police and Magen David Adom.

The Fire and Rescue Service says it handled a total of six impact sites, where damage was caused to buildings.
