Cluster munitions explode in mid-air and scatter bomblets. Iran and Israel are not among more than a hundred countries that are party to the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, which prohibits the use, transfer, production and storage of cluster bombs. The Iranians "are using cluster munitions", Israeli military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani told a news briefing, without providing details on when or where those munitions were allegedly launched. Israeli police said on Wednesday that bomb disposal experts found evidence of cluster munitions after incoming missiles from Iran were detected. Both Iran and Israel have been accused of using cluster munitions.
