More than 160 people were injured after Iranian missiles hit two towns in southern Israel near a nuclear facility. Israeli officials said 84 people were treated in Arad and 78 in Dimona after the strikes on Saturday evening. The International Atomic Energy Agency said there was no known damage to the nearby nuclear site. A paramedic in Arad said she saw “a lot of children with head and chest injuries” inside damaged buildings. Iranian state TV said the attack was in response to a strike on its Natanz facility. Israeli forces said most incoming missiles were intercepted, but some caused direct hits. (PC: BBC)
