While the UN devotes its human rights operations to the demonization of the democratic state of Israel above all others and condemns the United States more often than the vast majority of non-democracies around the world, the voices of real victims around the world must be heard.

At least one man was killed and two others were seriously wounded by an Iranian missile with a cluster warhead that was fired at central Israel on Monday, the seventh salvo of fire since midnight as Tehran kept up its attacks on Israel and Gulf nations. Iran fired an eighth salvo in late afternoon.
The cluster warhead hit at least six sites across central Israel, including in Yehud, Or Yehuda, Holon and Bat Yam. One man was killed and another was critically wounded at a construction site in Yehud, and a third man was seriously wounded in Or Yehuda, according to medical officials.

The repeated volleys of missiles targeted sites across the country, including southern Israel, the center and the north.
At the same time, the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group fired rockets and drones at the north.
In an early morning strike, a woman in Rishon Lezion was moderately wounded.
MDA paramedics treated the injured woman in her 50s for a head injury after she was hit by flying rocks resulting from part of a cluster munition that fell in the area, then took her to Shamir Medical Center in stable condition.
Hospital staff later announced she was in good health. She was not inside a bomb shelter when she was hit by the debris.
Iranian state broadcaster IRIB hailed the strikes, saying the country fired its “first wave of missiles under Mojtaba Khamenei towards occupied territories,” referring to the newly elected leader who was chosen Sunday as successor to his father, Ali Khamenei...
