Iran launched missile attacks on Saturday night targeting two Israeli cities, Arad and Dimona, located near nuclear facilities. Israeli officials reported that more than 160 people were injured in the strikes, with several in critical condition. According to the report, 84 people were hospitalized in Arad and 78 in Dimona following the ballistic missile attacks.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) stated that it was not yet aware of any damage to a nuclear research center situated about 13 kilometers from Dimona. Iran’s state television said the strikes were carried out in response to an earlier attack on Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility.

The incident marks a significant escalation in regional tensions, with both countries referencing nuclear sites in their actions. The full extent of the damage and potential international responses remain unclear.
