Iran launched strikes on the Israeli towns of Dimona and Arad, causing extensive damage and injuring over 100 people, including children. The Israeli Ministry described the strikes as 'deliberately targeting civilians with missiles.'

Interceptors were launched but failed to hit the threats, resulting in two direct hits by ballistic missiles with warheads weighing hundreds of kilograms, according to AFP.

At least 59 people were wounded in the strike on Arad, with 6 patients in serious condition, 13 in moderate condition, and 40 in mild condition, according to Magen David Adom first responders.

The strikes were reportedly in retaliation for strikes on Iran's own nuclear site at Natanz, which the US and Israel attacked on Saturday morning.
