Iranian cluster munition strikes Nesher suburb of Haifa — no injuries, property damage

A cluster missile fired from Iran struck the city of Nesher, near Haifa in northern Israel, according to the Israeli military and CNN. Damage can be seen at the impact site, though no injuries were reported by Israel's emergency response service (Magen David Adom). The use of cluster munitions — which scatter multiple submunitions over a wide area — is notable given their potential for civilian harm and the controversy surrounding their deployment in populated areas. Haifa and its suburbs have been a recurring target of Iranian missile and drone attacks throughout the war, but cluster munition use marks a tactical shift. The attack came during the first day of Trump's five-day power plant strike pause, signaling Iran's continued missile campaign regardless of the diplomatic window. Iran has approximately 150 remaining launchers according to IDF estimates, down from around 90 missiles/day at the conflict's start to roughly 10 per day in recent days.
