Iran launched a wave of ballistic missiles targeting southern Israeli towns, including Dimona and Arad, near a key nuclear research facility. Dramatic visuals showed massive “fireballs” lighting up the night sky as missiles struck residential areas. Israeli air defence systems reportedly failed to intercept some projectiles, leading to direct hits, explosions, and fires. Over 100 people were injured, including civilians and children, with several in critical condition. The strikes are seen as retaliation for earlier attacks on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, marking a sharp escalation in the ongoing conflict. Despite the proximity of the strikes, international monitors said there were no signs of radiation leaks from Israel’s nuclear site, though global concern is rising.
