Iran 4th Day 28 salvo: cluster bomb warhead scatters bomblets over central Israel

·Central Israel / Southern Israel

Iran's 4th salvo since midnight included at least one missile with a cluster bomb warhead that spread bomblets over a wide area in central Israel. Confirmed damage: the Dan Accadia Resort — a luxury hotel in Herzliya — was damaged by falling fragments or a cluster submunition per rescue services. No injuries. Southern Israel missiles intercepted by air defenses. Nahariya also triggered by Hezbollah rocket fire. The Herzliya hotel damage is the first confirmed civilian property hit from Iran's cluster munition use — consistent with Iran's warning that hotels housing US soldiers are legitimate targets.

Iran launched a small number of missiles in its 4th salvo since midnight on 27 March 2026, targeting southern and central Israel. The missiles fired at the south were intercepted by air defenses per the IDF. One missile fired at central Israel apparently carried a cluster bomb warhead, which spread bomblets over a wide area. Another missile hit an open area. No injuries were reported. Concurrently, sirens sounded in Nahariya and nearby towns due to Hezbollah rocket fire from Lebanon. The use of cluster munitions — which scatter submunitions over wide areas, some of which may not detonate immediately — represents a deliberate escalation by Iran beyond standard ballistic missile attacks. Cluster munitions pose ongoing risks to civilians from unexploded submunitions. The 4th Day 28 salvo comes despite IDF strikes on Iranian BM production and launch infrastructure overnight.
