Overview
- The Israeli military said a missile fired from Iran made a direct hit on a building in Dimona, a city adjacent to the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center.
- Magen David Adom reported roughly 20 people injured, including a 10-year-old boy in moderate condition, while some Israeli media cited higher casualty figures still being assessed.
- Local authorities recorded about a dozen impact sites and debris across the city, closed schools until further notice, and deployed search-and-rescue teams.
- The army said interception attempts were made before the strike, and videos shared by media showed at least one projectile reaching the city.
- Iranian outlets framed the strike as a response to the earlier attack on Iran’s Natanz enrichment site, which the IAEA confirmed was hit and said caused no detected increase in radiation as it opens an inquiry.
