VIDEO How to see the rockets with submunitions fired by Iran in retaliation after the killing of Ali Larijani in the sky of Tel Aviv
Iran fired submunition warhead missiles at Tel Aviv in retaliation for Israel's assassination of the head of Iran's security services, Ali Larijani, Iranian state television reported on Wednesday, according to Reuters.
The attack on Tuesday night killed two people in a neighborhood near Tel Aviv, a densely populated area that is also home to major military installations, bringing the Israeli death toll from the conflict to at least 14.
A statement from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, read on state television, said the weapons used included Khorramshahr 4 and Qadr missiles, both with multiple warheads.

Israel has said Iran has repeatedly used warheads with submunitions, which disperse in the air into multiple smaller explosives and spread over a wide area, making them difficult to intercept.
On Tuesday, the Iranian government confirmed the killing of Larijani, the most senior figure to be targeted since the first day of the US-Israeli war, when an Israeli strike killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran's Supreme National Security Council, headed by Larijani as secretary, said Larijani's son and his deputy, Alireza Bayat, were also killed in an Israeli strike late Monday.
