Iran fires four morning missile waves at Israel — cluster munition impacts central Israel; Jerusalem, south and center targeted

Two Iranian ballistic missile barrages targeted central Israel and the Jerusalem area on the morning of Day 23 (March 22, 2026), the first Iranian strikes of the day. WAVE 1 (~05:00 UTC): - Sirens sounded across central Israel - Confirmed cluster munition impact — bomblet struck a street in central Israel - Footage showed street damage from bomblet detonation - Magen David Adom: no casualties reported from this wave WAVE 2 (~05:45 UTC): - Fresh ballistic missile launch from Iran detected by IDF - Sirens across Jerusalem area and parts of southern Israel - Assessed as likely intercepted or struck open areas — no injuries confirmed CONTEXT: This is the first Iranian missile activity of Day 23, arriving approximately 8 hours after the previous evening's Arad/Dimona strikes. The use of cluster munitions continues Iran's pattern of deploying cluster warheads against Israeli population centers — a documented pattern from Ramat Gan (Day 19) and Rishon LeZion. The targeting of the Jerusalem area specifically marks continued attempts to strike Israel's capital corridor. DIMONA/ARAD UPDATE: Soroka Medical Center reported a combined total of 175 wounded from the previous evening's Dimona and Arad strikes — 60 from Dimona (including a 12-year-old in serious condition), 115 from Arad (including 18 children). 38 remain hospitalized.
