One person has died, and several others have been seriously injured after Iran fired suspected cluster munitions at central Israel.
More than a dozen impact sites were recorded across the area, suggesting the use of such a missile, police said.
Authorities confirmed that five people were wounded in Petah Tikva, while a man in his 40s was seriously injured in Tel Aviv, around six miles away.
A second strike then saw six more impacts in Yehud, Holon and Bat Yam, leaving one person dead and two more in severe condition in hospital.
Cluster warheads contain dozens of smaller explosives, known as bomblets, which disperse across a wide area before impact.
This allows a single missile to cause damage in multiple locations.
However, such weapons' use is controversial due to their indiscriminate nature.
More than 100 countries have prohibited the proliferation or use of cluster munitions since 2008 under the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM).
Their use on civilian targets or in populated areas is widely regarded as a violation of international law and, potentially, a war crime.
The strikes came as Iran renewed the pace of its attacks in the region, with a particular focus on energy infrastructure in the Gulf states.
More than 30 people were killed in drone strikes on Bahrain, including at refineries belonging to the state-controlled oil company, Bapco.
The firm has since declared force majeure, a legal mechanism releasing it from its contractual obligations, including export contracts.
"[Operations] have been affected by the ongoing regional conflict in the Middle East and the recent attack on its refinery complex,” a spokesperson said, though they claimed that local demand could still be met.
Drones also hit a fuel tanker at the Omani port of Duqm and a residential building in Saudi Arabia, killing two people.
In the wake of the attacks, oil prices hit more than $100 per barrel for the first time since 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, after surging by more than 20 per cent within an hour.
