Iranian missiles struck southern Israel, making direct impacts in Dimona, home to a key nuclear research facility, and the city of Arad.
The attacks left nearly 100 people injured, including at least eight in serious condition, while causing extensive damage in central Arad, according to Israel’s firefighting service.
Israeli officials acknowledged that several missiles penetrated the coIuntry’s air defense systems. A military spokesperson said the incidents would be investigated and that lessons would be learned.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the situation as a “difficult evening,” vowing that Israel would continue its military operations against its adversaries on multiple fronts.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization accused Israel and the United States of carrying out “criminal attacks” on its Natanz nuclear facility a day earlier. The escalation has heightened tensions across the region.
Seyed Majid Mousavi, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force, заявил that Iran would intensify its missile campaign.
In a statement posted on social media, he claimed Iran had achieved “missile dominance” over Israeli airspace and warned that new tactics and launch systems would surprise both Israel and the United States.
