Iran strikes Tel Aviv with cluster warheads in retaliation for killing of security chief
Iran targeted Tel Aviv with missiles carrying cluster warheads in what it said was retaliation for Israel's assassination of Iran's security chief Ali Larijani, Iranian state television reported on Wednesday. Israel has said that Iran has repeatedly used cluster warheads, which disperse into multiple smaller explosives mid-air and spread over a wide area, making them difficult to intercept. The attack on densely populated Tel Aviv overnight on Tuesday killed two people, bringing the death toll in Israel from the war to at least 14. The Iranian government on Tuesday confirmed the killing of Larijani, the most senior figure targeted since the US-Israeli war's first day, when an Israeli strike killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran's Supreme National Security Council, which Larijani led as secretary, said Larijani's son and his deputy, Alireza Bayat, were also killed in an Israeli attack on Monday night. The targeted killings took place as the US-Israeli war on Iran shows no signs of de-escalation.
