A suspected cluster missile from Iran has caused a kindergarten in Rishon Lezion, central Israel, to be damaged after it was launched from the Gush Dan area in central Israel. Two people were reported injured in the strike, with one man in his 70s and another in his 40s treated for mild injuries. The missile is believed to have weighed around 100 kilograms and was believed to be another example of a splitting warhead, which has been used in previous missile strikes. Initial reports suggest that shrapnel caused significant damage to the structure, with no direct missile impact reported. The Israeli education system in the affected area remains closed due to the strike. The incident is part of Operation Roaring Lion, which Iran has launched dozens of missiles with cluster munition warheads at Israel since the beginning of the operation.
