Israel: Iran Fired Cluster Bomb in Latest Missile Attack
Iran and Israel are in conflict, and Israel says Iran launched a missile with a special type of bomb called a cluster bomb.
This bomb releases many smaller explosives over a wide area.
This is dangerous because some of these smaller bombs might not explode right away and could hurt people later.
Israel says this happened, but Iran has not commented.
Many countries have banned these types of bombs, but Iran and Israel have not.
Israel alleged Iran fired a missile with a cluster bomb warhead.
The missile released bomblets at 23,000 feet, scattering them over an 8 km radius.
One bomblet struck a home in Azor, Israel, causing damage.
Cluster bombs scatter submunitions, some of which can fail to explode and cause harm later.
Iran and Israel have not joined the international ban on cluster bombs.
