Frightening footage from Monday shows an Iranian rocket exploding on an Israeli street in an attack that left one dead and another wounded.
The rocket — part of a cluster warhead that sprays bombs indiscriminately over its target — exploded in several cities in central Israel.
One man was killed and another was critically wounded at a construction site in Yehud. A third man was seriously wounded in Or Yehuda, medical officials told The Times of Israel.
Security footage capturing the Or Yehuda blast showed the quiet street with people going about their day, when the bomb suddenly burst in a ball of fire and sent a man toppling to the ground as the smoke and shockwave spread over the street.
A car driving nearby slowed to a stop, while people emerged from all around and ran to the blast site to help the injured.
Both the dead and wounded were in their 40s, according to the Times of Israel.
A third person was injured in another cluster warhead explosion Monday and hospitalized in serious condition.
The volleys were part of an ongoing campaign of Iranian barrages against Israel in response to its joint US attack on Tehran on Feb. 28 that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and nearly 50 of the country’s top-ranking government and military officials.
Iran has been hitting back with rocket and drone attacks on western interests across the Middle East, but the campaign of bombing by US and Israeli forces has continued unabated throughout Iran.
