Sign InIran has significantly escalated the regional conflict by launching a missile attack using cluster warheads against six locations in central Israel. The strike, part of the so-called "Operation Epic Fury," resulted in at least one fatality and several critical injuries in the city of Yehud and suburbs of Tel Aviv.
