Overview

• On June 19, Iran’s Armed Forces launched a missile carrying a cluster munition warhead over central Israel, releasing about 20 submunitions across an eight-kilometre radius.
• One submunition struck a home in Azor, causing material damage but no injuries.
• The Israeli Home Front Command warned residents not to touch unexploded bomblets and to report suspicious objects to authorities.
• The cluster attack drew international condemnation for its indiscriminate impact and underscored that Iran and Israel are not signatories to the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions.
• European foreign ministers met Iran’s Abbas Araghchi in Geneva to press for restraint as missile exchanges between Tehran and Jerusalem continue.
