A man was killed and several others were wounded by an Iranian ballistic missile fired at central Israel late Friday, the sixth attack that Iran launched on the country throughout the day.
The missile carried a cluster bomb warhead, spreading bomblets over a wide area.
A bomblet impact in Tel Aviv killed a 52-year-old security guard who was not in a bomb shelter at the time.
The victim was named as Vyacheslav Vidmant. Vidmant was employed by the Tel Aviv municipality to secure residential buildings that had been evacuated in the same location after a deadly Iranian attack on the first day of the war killed 32-year-old Mary Anne Velasquez de Vera.
Vidmant — who, according to the Home Front Command, was the only person in the area not in a bomb shelter at the time of the impact — was hit by shrapnel, reportedly some 20 meters from where the submunition hit.
The guard’s shift had officially ended at 10 p.m., but for unknown reasons, he remained at the site, Army Radio said, noting that when the warning sirens sounded, he did not seek cover in a shelter.
In response to the incident, a Tel Aviv municipality spokesperson told Army Radio that their guards had been briefed to follow safety guidelines and enter protected spaces immediately upon receiving an alert.

Time to bomb electricity generation infrastructure. Let the fanatics live in 7th century they aspire.
America and Israel have already destroyed a third or Iran’s missiles.
More work has to be done to come up to near 100%.
Where did you get the numbers? I would guess you are buying what the bogus media outlets are publishing. You are a fool if you do.
if they are firing a fraction of what they were, how are these still getting thru?? IRON DOME is not very good i guess.
No.
The majority of Iranians do not support the regime.
The war is against the mullahs not against the Iranian people.
If the civilian infrastructure is bombed then you force the people to side with the regime.
I keep reading that Iran’s ballistic and drone capabilities have been degraded by 90 to 95%, yet we’re still seeing daily attacks on Israel and the Gulf Countries ( like this one ).
This gives rise to the question — where are they getting these percentages? To know that they have to first know how many Iran has in the first place. Do they really?

You do not know that manufacturing drones requires electric power. Also bomb out all gas infrastructures. Can not transport anything without gas and electricity. Mullah regime falls within days.
Iran is almost THREE times BIGGER than Texas. Must have stored drones & missiles in several tunnels spread-out in country. Iraq is much smaller size than Iran. Yet finding Saddam took long time.

Exactly.
Each cluster munition carries around 2.5kg of HE and a frag case according to unexploded ones found by the IDF if you can read Hebrew the grafix and reports are out there. They say based again whole unexploded warheads they are 20-40 bomblets on each RV. A 60mm mortar shell is about the same mass in HE and has a 30 meter kill radius so checks out the guard was 20 meters away and was fraged.
The total area of 20 circles, each with a 30-meter diameter, is approximately 14137 square meters or 3.49 acres.
An American football field is approximately 45,000 sq feet including endzones an acre fills more than the yard markers it extends into the endzones.
This gives the approximate kill zone of a single cluster munition ballistic missile on open soft targets. The 40 bomblet bigger one is double but not all will evenly distributed still a sizable area.
Imagine if they had chemical weapons on them where a single pin point is enough to kill just landing on your skin or inhaled. Even just fentanyl powder is lethal in miligram amounts inhaled.
Anthrax is 15 spores a single cluster munition ballistic missile with spores could wipe a city out if air burst above it on a calm night or worse up wind.
There is a reason cluster munitions are a war crime to use against cities. A very good reason.

Flatten Jamkaran and the Mahdi shrine.
"Your Mahdi is extinguished, he will never reappear. The fact that he did not reappear is proof of our supremacy, read your Koran, you know this to be true.This isn't the beginning of your moongod messiah, this is the end of Iran and what excrement remains of Persia.
Surrender, or learn how to swim in radioactive liquid glass, because that is what is coming for you."
We need to FUD the absolute FUDK of their moongodism. We are pretending this is not a religious war.
EVERYONE on FreeRepublic knows damn good and well this is a religious war.
Get Israel out of the way, they have a vested interest in maintaining Iran as some sort of threat.
No. We are in theater. We are as prepped as we will ever be to DEFEAT these mf'rs.
Forget a populist uprising, forget finding an opposition leader, destroy Iran's raison d'etre.
Israel and America are not signatories to the ban on cluster munitions. Israel has used them repeatedly in Lebanon.
You do not know much about drone manufacture and transportation either. See my post #9.
It’s cluster bombs.
Look @ the stats, no system is 100%
The antibiotics that cure. are some of the simplest to produce, and thus they exist in surplus. Post-2001 there are air monitors in every major city (Israel owns this space in several ways) and every major military installation that constantly monitor that. very. thing.
No you don't, Iran is full of educated people, if you turn out the lights in order to get rid of the murderers, they'd be ok with it.
