Iranian Missile Strike on Dimona Nuclear Site Wounds Nearly 100

An Iranian missile struck Israel’s southern city of Dimona, home to its main nuclear facility, and nearby Arad. Nearly 100 people were wounded, including a 10-year-old boy in critical condition. Iranian state media described the strike as retaliation for an earlier attack on its Natanz enrichment complex. Israel’s air defences activated but failed to intercept some rockets, causing fires and structural damage. The International Atomic Energy Agency reported no damage to the research centre and detected no abnormal radiation. Its director general called for maximum restraint near nuclear installations. This exchange marks a new phase in the four-week conflict between Iran and Israel. Both sides have carried out strikes since late February, raising fears of further escalation.
