Iran\u2019s increasing use of ballistic missiles containing cluster munitions has spread damage and harm across Israel. On April 6, as many as 50 sites were impacted<\/a> by missiles and their cluster munitions.<\/p>\n \u201cIranian cluster munitions struck roughly 50 locations across central Israel, wounding at least six, including a seriously wounded woman in Petah Tikva and a moderately wounded man in Ramat Gan,\u201d Haaretz reported<\/a>. Iran has kept up its attacks on Israel every day since the US and Israel began airstrikes on Iran on February 28, 2026. Israel is also ramping up strikes on Iran, targeting<\/a> infrastructure and other targets, and Israel is accelerating<\/a> its production of Arrow missile interceptors to defend against attacks.<\/p>\n Iran has focused on using cluster munitions in its ballistic missile salvos since the first two weeks of the conflict. However, the proportion of these munitions has increased. By March 10, Israel\u2019s Home Front Command said<\/a> that 50 percent of the Iranian missiles contained cluster munitions. This has meant that although the number of missiles in each salvo may have decreased, the number of munitions falling on Israel has appeared<\/a> to increase, according to reports of the number of impact sites in Israeli media. For security reasons, Israel does not release precise data on the quantity of missiles fired, how many of them are intercepted, or the number of impact sites.<\/p>\n On April 1, The Times of Israel reported<\/a> that \u201c12 missiles carrying conventional warheads with hundreds of kilograms of explosives [\u2026] struck populated areas in Israel, causing extensive damage. There have also been more than 30 incidents of missiles carrying cluster bomb warheads hitting populated areas, with over 200 separate impact sites.\u201d A ballistic missile attack on April 4, which led to at least 10 impact sites, illustrated how large an area can be affected by one missile with cluster munitions. \u201cMagen David Adom [Israel\u2019s national emergency service] said teams were scanning multiple locations in Bnei Brak, Petah Tikva, Ramat Gan, Givatayim and Rosh HaAyin. Smoke was seen rising over parts of the Ramat Gan-Givatayim area, where at least one impact site was reported,\u201d Ynet noted<\/a>. This is an area of around 20 square miles.<\/p>\n Iran\u2019s missile attacks have continued daily. On April 7, several areas in central Israel were affected<\/a> by debris from an attack. On April 6, four members of one family were killed when a missile warhead struck their apartment building in Israel\u2019s northern city of Haifa. \u201cThe warhead of the missile did not explode on impact, but the kinetic energy from the strike caused several floors of the building to collapse, burying the four victims under rubble. An Israeli Air Force probe found that the missile was not intercepted because the projectile broke up in the air,\u201d The Times of Israel reported<\/a>. On April 4, several cluster munitions struck<\/a> Tel Aviv in an area near the IDF\u2019s Kirya Headquarters. On April 1, 16 people were wounded<\/a> in a cluster munition attack in Bnei Brak, near Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n Human Rights Watch has said<\/a> that the cluster munition attacks are unlawful. \u201cAt least four civilians have been killed in the strikes, which violate the laws of war and may amount to war crimes,\u201d the organization noted<\/a>. Israel\u2019s Foreign Ministry sent<\/a> a letter to UNICEF on March 24, calling for the UN organization to condemn the missile attacks on Israel. \u201cIran is launching ballistic missiles armed with illegal cluster munitions, spreading indiscriminate harm\u2014and children are among the victims,\u201d the ministry said.<\/p>\n As the war continues, Israel\u2019s Ministry of Defense says the country is accelerating<\/a> the production of Arrow missile interceptors. Arrow is the top tier of Israel\u2019s multi-layered air defense system, which includes David\u2019s Sling, Iron Dome, and other systems. Arrow was jointly developed with the US Missile Defense Agency. The decision will enable \u201ca significant increase in both the production rate and stockpile of Arrow interceptors,\u201d the ministry said<\/a>.<\/p>\n On April 3, the IDF said<\/a> it had carried out 70 strikes on Iran over the last day. \u201cAmong the targeted infrastructure sites were launch sites storing ballistic missile launchers threatening the State of Israel, sites storing UAVs belonging to the Air Force of the IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps], and air defense system facilities,\u201d the IDF said<\/a>. The next day, the Israeli military said it had completed<\/a> strikes aimed at damaging the Iranian regime\u2019s \u201ccore systems and foundations.\u201d Among the targets was an Iranian petrochemical complex near Mahshahr, Iran. This complex was involved<\/a> in producing chemicals for weapons, the IDF said<\/a>.<\/p>\n The IDF said that it had struck<\/a> a mobile ballistic missile launcher on April 3. In addition, the IDF killed<\/a> Mohammad Reza Ashrafi Kahi, who it said was a commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps\u2019 Oil Headquarters. In addition, the IRGC intelligence chief, Majid Khademi, was killed<\/a>, according to an Israeli military statement on April 6.<\/p>\n On April 7, the IDF said that it was conducting a \u201cwide-scale wave of strikes targeting dozens of infrastructure sites belonging to the Iranian terror regime in several areas across Iran,\u201d according to a statement distributed by the Israeli military on WhatsApp. Among the targets<\/a> of the campaign<\/a> have been rail lines and bridges.<\/p>\n
