[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interceptors useless against cluster munitions. Because they split into 20 different bombs before they can be intercepted. They are banned by over 100 countries but there are no rules of engagement anymore since Israel/America have preemptively committed so many war crimes. And of course the biggest war criminal Israel hasn't signed on to the ban.

Iran’s cluster missiles scatter bombs and destruction across Israel

Iran has launched multiple ballistic missiles at Israel carrying cluster bomb warheads during the ongoing conflict, indiscriminately spreading small bombs in wide areas of the country.

The warhead of such missiles opens up while descending and scatters between 24 and up to 80 smaller munitions with around 2.5 kilograms (5.5 pounds) of explosives, in a radius of around 8 kilometers (5 miles), according to the Israel Defense Forces.

The munitions do not have their own propulsion or guidance and simply fall to the ground, where they are designed to explode on impact.

Israeli military officials said such a missile poses a threat to a much wider area than Iran’s other ballistic missile warheads, but the explosion from each of the cluster bombs is far smaller.[/quote]

Israel ought to know how indiscriminately deadly cluster munitions are since they regularly use them against unarmed and unfortified civilian populations.  Apparently, though, through the eyes of the Israeli, what is good for the goose is not good for the gander.[/quote]
