Breaking News: Israel Accuses Iran of Using Banned Cluster Bombs as War Reaches Critical Point | ABP NEWS

The Israel-Iran war has taken a grave turn, with Israel accusing Iran of deploying internationally banned cluster bombs in its latest missile strikes. These munitions, known for causing widespread civilian harm, allegedly struck populated areas in Tel Aviv, resulting in major destruction, including damage to Israel's stock exchange building and residential homes. Over 40 people are reported injured, and a hospital sustained serious structural damage, forcing staff to evacuate patients in the middle of the night. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the damaged hospital, accusing Iran of deliberately targeting civilians. “They are attacking non-military sites — homes, hospitals, and city centers. This is not warfare, it’s terror,” Netanyahu said, rejecting Iran’s claim that it was targeting military locations. In response, Israel has launched a series of precision airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities. Meanwhile, the U.S. remains on high alert. President Donald Trump has yet to announce if America will militarily intervene, though additional U.S. fighter jets and naval assets have been moved to the Middle East. Digital warfare has also escalated, with Israeli hackers breaching Iranian state television broadcasts. With both nations intensifying their attacks, the conflict now teeters dangerously on the edge of regional escalation.
