'Very difficult to stop': BBC visits scene of Iran cluster bomb strike on Israel

A BBC report from Ramat Gan, Israel, details the aftermath of an Iranian cluster bomb strike on an apartment building. The attack killed an elderly couple in their home, leaving a trail of destruction with shrapnel damage and a collapsed living room. While Israeli air defenses typically intercept Iranian missiles, cluster bombs, which disperse multiple munitions, are proving difficult to defend against. According to an Israeli military spokesman, a single missile can carry dozens of these munitions, resulting in numerous impact points. Although casualties from Iranian missile attacks have been relatively low, the increasing use of cluster bombs raises concerns. The attack occurred during the ongoing joint US-Israel campaign against Iran.
