In addition, there are now reports that one of the missiles launched by Iran this morning may have been a cluster munition. The bomb struck in the Gush Dan (Tel Aviv metropolitan area). The IDF is examining whether it was, in fact, a cluster bomb.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed reporters outside the hospital following the attack.

Netanyahu vowed retaliation for the strike and also addressed President Donald Trump's debate over joining Israel in the conflict against Iran.

"President Trump will do what's best for America. I trust the president. I trust his judgement. He is a tremendous friend, a tremendous leader and a tremendous friend of the Jewish people," Netanyahu said.

"And we will do what we have to do, and we are doing it. We are committed to destroying the nuclear threat, the threat of nuclear annihilation, against Israel," he added.

President Trump is scheduled to receive his intelligence briefing late Thursday morning in the Situation Room.
