Central District, Israel
"Five more people were killed overnight by Iranian missiles aimed at Israel: a man from Thailand in the countrys center, and four Palestinian women who had been preparing to break the Ramadan fast in their West Bank village."

"The deaths come as Iran has increasingly turned to cluster munitions, which break apart and shed smaller bombs along their path making them much harder for Israels air defense systems to intercept."
