A powerful strike was delivered by Iranian missiles to an Israeli nuclear facility.

According to reports from the Israel Defense Forces and the Emergency Services, two powerful Iranian ballistic missiles struck near a nuclear facility located in Dimona in southern Israel and hit the nearby city of Arad. Zamin.uz reported on this incident.

As a result, more than 100 people sustained injuries of varying severity. Rescue workers confirmed that first aid was provided to 33 individuals in Dimona and 75 in Arada.

The missiles directly hit two buildings, additionally causing severe damage to three other houses, one of which experienced a major fire. Currently, the condition of ten injured persons is assessed as critical.

Rescue teams continue their efforts to locate potential victims trapped under the rubble. Although Israel's interception system managed to detonate several missiles in mid-air during the attack, it failed to stop all of them.

These missiles were equipped with warheads weighing hundreds of kilograms, and their impact caused extensive destruction. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the event as having occurred during very difficult night hours and stated that the state is firmly determined to continue striking its enemy across all fronts.

Earlier reports indicated that the number of injured was forty, including a ten-year-old child. This attack took place at a time when political and military tensions in the region have escalated to a new level.

Earlier that morning, Iranian leaders had accused the United States and Israel of attacking the nuclear center in Natanz. Subsequently, Iranian officials declared that the strike on Dimona was a retaliatory measure for that incident.

The Israeli side denied the involvement of its forces in the attack on Natanz. Currently, the situation remains unstable with a risk of expanding hostilities between the parties, while the international community watches cautiously for new outbreaks in the region.
