Israel Facing Iranian Cluster Bombs
(Jerusalem Post) Moshe Cohen - As part of the ongoing conflict with Iran, Israel's home front is facing multiple ballistic missile barrages every day that frequently include cluster munitions. "Cluster bombs break up in the air at high altitudes and crash over kilometers in wide radii," warned Aaron Godiner, former commander of the Fire and Rescue Authority of Ramat Gan-Givatayim, in a Sunday interview with Maariv. "When the smaller bombs, each weighing between three and five kg., explode, they cause severe damage. This damage can range from the destruction of residential apartments if they fall in populated areas, to the destruction of vehicles if they are hit directly, or significant damage from fires and craters on the roads."
