About 59 people were wounded in an Iranian missile strike on Dimona, including a 12-year-old boy in serious condition, as Tehran said the barrage was retaliation for reported attacks on its nuclear facilities.
The strike in Dimona, which left dozens of people wounded, including a child in serious condition, occurred after an interceptor was launched toward the missile but is believed to have missed. The IDF said it is now investigating the circumstances of the apparent failure.
Israel’s Fire and Rescue Services said a report was received of a structural collapse at one of the impact sites. It remained unclear whether the missile carried a cluster warhead.
Iranian state-affiliated Tasnim news agency said the launches were revenge for an earlier strike on the Natanz uranium enrichment site and a previously reported attack at the Bushehr nuclear power plant. The Israeli military denied earlier any involvement in the Natanz strike and did not confirm U.S. responsibility. Tasnim said the barrage was intended to signal that no location is beyond the reach of Iranian missiles.
Earlier, rocket fire from Lebanon triggered sirens in Maalot-Tarshiha and surrounding areas, as dozens of rockets were launched in recent hours. Several impact sites were reported in the city, and according to initial reports from Magen David Adom, two people were lightly wounded.
Footage circulating online also showed a hole in a building hit in Maalot-Tarshiha after the rocket fire from Lebanon.

Since the reporter failed to mention it, Dimona is an Israeli city.

I feel like it should clearly say Dimona, Israel. I assumed it was Israel but yea, no fucking clue where Dimona is.

Guess I'm the only person who had to look up where Dimona is.
