Iran missile fire leaves 14 wounded

• A series of four Iranian missile rounds and a separate launch from Yemen triggered sirens; 14 people were wounded in the Tel Aviv suburb of Bnei Brak after a missile strike, with further injuries reported in the north from Hezbollah fire.
• ‘Israeli’ authorities and Hebrew media reported the use of cluster munitions in the latest Iranian strikes, designed to scatter bomblets over wide populated areas; ‘Israel’s’ foreign ministry condemned the move as a "crime against humanity," while Tehran maintained it targets only military objectives.

‘Israel's’ emergency services said 14 people were wounded near Tel Aviv on Wednesday during a missile attack that the military blamed on Iran.

Later in the day, medics said they were treating a 61-year-old man in mild condition with blast injuries in the north following fire from Lebanon, where ‘Israeli’ forces are fighting Hezbollah.

On Wednesday morning, the military said it had identified a missile launched from Yemen, as well as four rounds of Iranian missiles, which activated air raid sirens across large parts of central and northern ‘Israel’.

In the central settlement of Bnei Brak, near Tel Aviv, the Magen David Adom emergency service said it had treated and evacuated to the hospital 14 wounded people.

Police reported damage at several sites in central ‘Israel’, sharing an image of what appeared to be missile debris on a road.

As ‘Israel’ prepared for the Passover Jewish holiday, which began at sunset, air-raid sirens warning of incoming missiles sounded repeatedly in the Tel Aviv area, first in the morning and then again in the late afternoon.

Due to military censorship rules in place in ‘Israel’ since the start of the current war, sensitive military sites are closed to the public and the press, while other impact sites in populated areas are generally closed off until they are cleared of missile debris and unexploded ordnance.

Hebrew media said cluster munitions, which explode mid-air and scatter bomblets across a wide area, were used in the latest attack.

Iran and ‘Israel’ have previously accused each other of using cluster bombs.

"Targeting civilians and increasing casualties through missiles equipped with cluster bombs is part of a long list of war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated for decades by the Iranian fanatical regime," ‘Israel's’ foreign ministry posted on X.

Iran says it targets military objectives.
