US EditionAmnesty Accuses Iran of Firing Cluster Munitions at Israel
ISRAEL, JUL 23 – Amnesty International reports Iranian cluster munitions killed at least 29 civilians in Israel during a 12-day war in June, violating international humanitarian law.
- On July 24, Amnesty International reported that during a 12-day conflict in June, Iranian forces launched cluster munitions—widely prohibited due to their indiscriminate nature—against Israel.
- The conflict was triggered by Israeli airstrikes on June 13, prompting Iranian forces to launch attacks using weapons that are inherently indiscriminate in densely populated areas of Israel.
- Amnesty International analyzed photos and videos showing ballistic missiles with submunitions struck the Gush Dan metropolitan area on June 19 and impacted Beersheba and Rishon LeZion on June 20 and 22 respectively.
- Senior director Erika Guevara Rosas stated that Iranian forces put civilians at risk by deploying such weapons in close proximity to inhabited residential zones, a tactic Amnesty condemned as a clear breach of international humanitarian law.
- This use of cluster munitions endangered civilians and demonstrated disregard for international law, indicating ongoing tensions and potential future violations between Iran and Israel.
