At least forty people sustained injuries following a rocket attack on the southern Israeli city of Dimona, a location containing a nuclear facility, according to Israeli military reports. The assault occurred in Dimona, a city with significant strategic importance. Iranian state television announced the attack as retribution for an earlier strike against the Natanz nuclear facility, situated roughly fifty kilometers from Kashan.
The Iranian government asserted that the Israeli military bore no responsibility for the Natanz assault. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) issued a statement indicating “no signs of damage were detected at the Negev research center.” Furthermore, the IAEA confirmed “normal radiation levels have not been identified.” Despite this, the agency stated it was “closely monitoring the situation” for any developments. Emergency medical services, including Magen David Adom, responded to the scene and treated over forty individuals after the ballistic missile impact within a residential area.
The incident highlights the ongoing tensions in the region. The Israeli military remains vigilant, and the IAEA continues to assess the impact of the event at the nuclear facility. Further updates are anticipated as the situation unfolds.
